Bob Barker


Game shows wouldn’t be the same without the influence of the great Bob Barker. He was the leading figure behind the hit game show The Price Is Right from 1982 until 2007, making it one of the longest-running programs in Northern America’s TV history. Although he retired from his hosting duties on the show, Bob still made occasional appearances throughout the following years. The most notable one would be on 2015’s April Fools’ Day, where he swapped places with the show’s at-the-time host.

Along the way, he was also allowed to host the Miss Universe and Miss USA pageants for two decades, making him the longest-serving host of the events. With a track record as remarkable as his, it’s safe to say that his credit score has been stuck at the higher regions of the spectrum, which means he has never faced any issues financially.
