Top Television Personalities & Their Incredible Net Worth : SOME WILL SURPRISE YOU
PAULA JONES – ACTIVE SINCE 1991 – $700K
American politics enthusiasts may very well recall Paula Jones’ role in the impeachment of Bill Clinton in 1998. But in 2021, following the release of the historical drama series “Impeachment: American Crime Story.” Jones took exception to her portrayal. In an interview with “Inside Edition,” she described the role played by Annaleigh Ashford as inaccurate.
Much of her anger stemmed from the fact that no one from the series contacted her. Very understandable; after all, firsthand accounts of her indecent assault suit would have provided more accuracy. No matter, she’s reported to be worth a tidy $700K, so we’d say she’s not doing too badly for herself.
GENNIFER FLOWERS – ACTIVE SINCE 1986 – $1 MILLION
The name Gennifer Flowers always brings to mind the 1992 Bill Clinton controversy. However, hardly anyone knows that the television personality had debuted as an actress and featured in movies such as the 1987 classic “Frenchman’s Farm” before she became embroiled in the Clinton scandal.

During Bill Clinton’s presidential election campaign in 1992, Flowers revealed that she’d been involved in a 12-year relationship with Clinton. The affair is probably one of the most analyzed and documented relationships in US political history. It earned a mention in the 2020 book “S*x with Presidents” by author Eleanor Herman. Flowers gained immense popularity in the years after her revelation, and she’s reported to be worth $1 million.
Bill Cosby – Active Since 1961 – $400 Million
A veteran actor and stand-up comedian, Bill Cosby is best known for the sitcom, The Cosby Show, which aired between 1984 and 1992. However, his attempts at a successful acting career date way back to the early ’60s. Cosby had some luck that his very first television series, I Spy, became a hit and even earned him three Primetime Emmy Awards.

Today, Cosby is 82 years old. Even though he has made a massive fortune of $400 million, he doesn’t get to revel in luxuries as he is currently in prison. In 2018, Cosby was charged with multiple counts of indecent assault; and that certainly black-marked his reputation.
KELLY RIPA – ACTIVE SINCE 1986 – $120 MILLION
We never really wonder what celebrities would be doing with their lives if they weren’t famous. But if you had to guess, you’d probably be off the mark with Kelly Ripa. In a 2020 episode of “Live with Kelly and Ryan,” the talk-show host revealed that she once wished she could be a midwife.

Ripa may not be making a living helping women birth their children. But her successful career as an actress and TV producer is to be thanked for her impressive $120 million net worth. In 2021, she announced the release of her first book named “Live Wire.”
BILL CLINTON – ACTIVE SINCE 1974 – $120 MILLION
Bill Clinton may have left the White House with the highest approval rating of any president since World War II. Still, his political career hasn’t exactly been smooth sailing. For one, he is on the list of U.S. presidents to have ever been impeached.

Say what you will about former President Clinton, though, but he’s pretty adept at raking in cash. His net worth of $120 million is a combination of his earnings from book royalties, consultancy, and speaking engagements. In 2021, his co-authored thriller book, “The President’s daughter” was released.
