How Howard Stern made money
The radio base. He grew from a provocative local disc jockey into the center of a nationally syndicated morning show. Celebrity Net Worth says he was making around $30 million a year before leaving terrestrial radio.
The Sirius deal. In 2006 he moved to Sirius. The original five-year deal carried roughly $500 million in fixed commitments, but that money funded the whole operation, not only his pay. Later contracts were reported at $80 million to $120 million per year.
The extras. Books, television programs, pay-per-view specials and the 1997 film Private Parts added income, along with real estate and investments.
