Jerry Springer’s staggering net-worth at time of death
Share:
The controversial late talk show host Jerry Springer had amassed an eyewatering sum of money by the time he died in 2023. Springer was the face of one of America’s most shocking talk shows, The Jerry Springer Show, which ran from 1991 to 2018. Throughout 4,000 episodes, he put ‘trash TV’ on the map by bringing ‘ordinary’ people on to share their explosive stories – often resulting in volatile showdowns and jaw-dropping confessions.

But the show’s legacy has been mired in controversy over the decades, all the way up to Springer’s death from pancreatic cancer aged 79. Netflix’s new two-part documentary, Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action, lifts the lid on the sensational behind-the-scenes attitude priming guests to fight – particularly under the tenure of executive producer Richard Dominick.

The show delves more into Springer’s own life as a TV show host and harks back to his 2014 apology on Dish Nation in which he ‘frankly apologised for everything [he’s] ever done in television’. Despite Springer’s late-in-life regrets, he enjoyed a lucrative, decades-long career so how much was his net worth by the end?.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, and a figure reiterated by Netflix, Jerry Springer was worth $60million (£48m) thanks to his onscreen, and political, career. The majority of his wealth was accumulated thanks to his titular talk show which raked in impressive ratings after it pivoted from a more serious to a more tabloid-style approach.
