One of the most iconic game show hosts is Jeopardy’s Alex Trebek. The show was a competition of “geniuses” outdoing each other with trivia clues from different categories. The star of the show, Alex Trebek has raked in millions through 3 decades. Shooting about 7,000 episodes earned him at least $10 million a year. The reruns undoubtedly earn him a whole lot more, though no amount has been disclosed. But whatever the amount is, surely it will rank as one of the highest among show residuals. Aside from Jeopardy, Trebek has hosted other game shows which surely have contributed to his net worth. He is contracted to host Jeopardy until 2022. Unfortunately, his health has been plagued by a series of problems. From a heart attack in 2007, surgery due to a fall in 2017, to having been diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic cancer in 2019. Trbek explained that he is not afraid to die, he has lived a good life. On an episode in November 2019, a player’s response was “We Love You Alex,” to which Trebek became choked up. Many all over the world do love this man…we hope for the best.
