Kelly Ripa’s net worth is $91 million. The TV star made most of her money from Live with Kelly & Michael but she certainly doesn’t need the money any more. Ripa has appeared in 1,592 episodes of the show since 2002. The Screen Actors Guild rate sheet says actors make a minimum of $900 a day for screen work, whether it’s on TV or in a movie. That said, Ripa almost certainly earned a lot more than that for her work on the show. She hasn’t publicly released details of her contract, but comparisons to salaries from other hit shows place her pay at around $10 million a year. Her total estimated earnings from the show since it was called Live with Regis and Kathy Lee add up to $101.5 million. Ripa is also a product endorsement champion, with likely endorsement pay of around $75 million total. Her lucrative production business kicks in another $7.25 million. Other income sources, like acting in such movies as Sharknado 2: The Second One and appearing on shows like Saturday Night Live, pay Ripa another million or so each.
All told, Kelly Ripa’s lifetime earnings stack up to $187 million. After taxes, expenses and investments are all figured in, she walks away with a net worth of $91 million and an average salary of $15.5 million a year.

In the case of Kim Kardashian, she’s leveraged her fame in a way that almost no one else has, with high-dollar fragrance deals that churn out millions every year. Of course Ellen DeGeneres has both the longevity and the viewers, using Oprah Winfrey’s successful formula of interesting guests each day.
