BILL O’REILLY — EST. $85 MILLION

Bill O’ Reilly started his career as a broadcaster in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Then, he was able to score opportunities to the industry’s big names, such as CBS News and ABC News, where he tried to anchor the news and entertainment program, Inside Edition, for several years. In all his years in the industry and also being able to author a few book credits, he amassed a net worth of $85 million. However, O’Reilly was accused of sexual misconduct and was fired from his long-running show. He eventually had to hire an attorney and face the court. Of course, he denied the wrong-doing, but still, O’Reilly had to pay for damages, and it was in millions.

If there’s someone people would rather listen to for political comments, it would be Bill O’Reilly. Recently, however, the seasoned journalist left Fox News and drew some backlash while he was at it. Regardless of his current status as a media member, he’d always have his $85 million net worth to soften the blow.
