Steve Harvey has an estimated net worth of $100 million

Steve Harvey is an American comedian, actor, television/radio personality, and author with an estimated net worth of $100 million. Harvey currently hosts The Steve Harvey Morning ShowSteve Harvey, and Family Feud. He is 6’2″ and weighs 215 pounds. Broderick Steven Harvey was born on January 17, 1957 in Welch, Virginia. The youngest of five children, Harvey’s father was a coal miner who would pass away in 2000 from black lung disease. When he was still a child, his family moved to Cleveland, where Harvey would go on to attend High School. Eventually he would return to his home state to attend the University of West Virginia but after school he would go on to get a series of unrelated jobs, including an insurance salesman, postman, carpet cleaner and even a boxer.

Not quite finding success in any individual endeavor in his early adulthood, Harvey began performing stand-up comedy in 1985 in Cleveland. He made it to the finals of the Johnnie Walker National Comedy Search in 1990 and his success earned him a hosting job on It’s Showtime at the Apollo, where he would stay in 2000. During this time he got his first taste of major fame as he starred in The Steve Harvey Show on upstart WB, which gained notoriety in its 8-year run. Harvey would become a certifiable comedy star in 1999, when he, Cedric the Entertainer, Bernie Mac and D.L. Hughley embarked on The Kings of Comedy Tour, which would become the highest grossing comedy tour in history.

The tour would lead to Spike Lee’s The Original Kings of Comedy documentary (2000), which raked in $38 million with a production cost of only $3 million. Harvey has parlayed the success of the tour and subsequent film into a virtual empire going on to host a daily radio show which is now nationally syndicated, a variety of television projects – including Steve Harvey’s Big Time – and a number of acting roles in Hollywood films.  In 2009, Harvey’s star would grow with the release of his book, Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man, and its follow up, Straight Talk, No Chaser which both were bestsellers. His stature as an iconic celebrity was cemented when he was chosen to host Family Feud in 2010. Harvey has been married three times and has four children.
