Stephen Colbert: ~ $75 Million

Believe it or not, but the talented host of the Comedy Central talk show, The Colbert Report, has an accumulated net worth of $75 million. Stephen Colbert hosted the talk show from 2005 to 2014, and not long after, he started another talk show with CBS called The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in 2015. With a career spanning decades, it’s no wonder that he’s amassed a massive fortune today. Colbert also won several awards, including nine Emmys, two Grammys, and two Peabodys.

Before becoming one of our favorite television hosts, he started out acting. When that didn’t work out, he started writing for Saturday Night Live and The Daily Show. These years of experience are what he credits for making him the man he is today. He previously earns $6 million annually, and after signing a contract extension in October 2019 with CBS Corp, he now earns a whopping $15 million each year.
