What is Steve Harvey's net worth as Celebrity Family Feud makes epic return

Steve Harvey has been bringing laughter to audiences since the 1980s when he became nationally recognized as a standup comedian.

Throughout the years Steve , 67, built a major brand for himself, starting with the eponymous television series he starred in on the WB network from 1996 to 2002. Since then he’s gone on to become the host of the nationally syndicated eponymous morning radio talk show, which brings him $20 million per year. However, nowadays, Steve is more known for the game shows that he hosts than for his past TV work, and the Steve Harvey Morning Show.

The King of Comedy’s net worth is $200 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

A good chunk of his wealth comes from hosting Family Feud and Celebrity Family Feud. He gets $10 million per year to host Family Feud and another $10 million per year to host Celebrity Family Feud. This totals to an annual salary of $40 million when you factor in the $20 million he gets every year from his radio gig.

Steve has been hosting Family Feud since 2010, and the celebrity edition of the game show since 2015. He has been the radio host of the Steve Harvey Morning Show since 2000. The lively TV moderator has truly made Family Feud his own, interacting with contestants in a way that often leads to moments that end up going viral on social media.

In a shocking preview for an episode that aired last year, Steve and the live studio audience were left speechless as the shocking revelations were unveiled mid-show.

"I just have to tell you one thing if you don't mind," the contestant asked a worried-looking Steve as he introduced this week's line-up of families.

"We need to go ahead and let the cat out of the bag," Darlene explained, before revealing: "You and I have been sleeping together for 12 years."

It was silence in the studio after the audience gasped before Steve, who looked completely shocked by the comment, quipped: "That's way more than the cat!"

Clarifying that she was joking, clearing up exactly what she meant, Darlene explained: "I have managed to fall asleep to you for the past 12 years!"

Thankful after finding out that Darlene meant “sleeping together” virtually while she watched his TV shows, Steve replied: "Oh thank you Jesus!"

It was a relief to Steve when Darlene cleared the air because he’s a married man. He and his third wife Marjorie jumped the broom back in 2007.

Celebrity Family Feud premiered on July 9.
