American radio talk show host and political commentator Rush Limbaugh has an estimated net worth of $590 million. Rush Limbaugh is the outspoken, ultra-conservative and ultra-popular host of The Rush Limbaugh Show, an A.M. radio show about American politics.
He got his start in radio while still in high school, moving to Sacramento, California, the USA in the 1980s and perfecting the politically-oriented sarcasm that earned him national syndication. Limbaugh gained particular fame as a staunch opponent of president Bill Clinton; by 1995, when Newt Gingrich led a Republican majority into the House of Representatives, Rush Limbaugh was one of the most popular radio hosts in the U.S. The conservative host demonstrated both his impact on the culture and his intemperance with his attacks on a female law student and birth-control advocate. In the long run, the resulting boycott by many advertisers didn't have much of a financial impact on Limbaugh.
