DAVID LETTERMAN – EST. $400 MILLION

Another iconic name in the field of hosting is David Letterman. He began his career as a radio talk show host, television anchor, and weather announcer. He has been the host of too many shows throughout the years. Although he officially announced his retirement in April 2014, he once again returned to host Netflix’s My Guest Needs No Introduction with David Letterman.

He may be 73, but nothing can stop Letterman from doing what he loves the most – hosting. You can give him credits to almost everything, but he seems to be living up as a talk show host. This aided him in amassing a whopping net worth of $400 million. Aside from his annual salary, which comes to be pretty huge, he also gets $50 million a year in licensing and syndication fees, although this figure may have already changed in recent years.
