With Kelly and Michael (which earned him two Daytime Emmy Awards), Good Morning America, and other TV shows.

Michael Strahan is worth an estimated $67 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth, with most of his wealth coming from his impressive career as a football player. He played defensive end for the NFL's New York Giants for 15 seasons, where he not only helped lead his team to victory in Super Bowl XLII against the New England Patriots but earned a coveted spot in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Following his retirement in 2008, Strahan began a career in broadcast media after signing on as an analyst for Fox NFL Sunday. In 2012, he replaced Regis Philbin on Live! with Kelly Ripa, where he served as co-host for four years before leaving the show for a full-time gig on ABC's Good Morning America. Celebrity Net Worth reports his salary as a TV show host is around $17 million a year. 

On top of all that, Strahan added more to his net worth from brand endorsements, including Metamucil, Subway, Snickers, Pizza Hut, and Dr. Pepper. He also hosted the game show The $100,000 Pyramid from 2016 to 2019, and in 2015, he started his own clothing line with JC Penny and became a best-selling author after releasing the book Wake Up Happy: The Dream Big, Win Big Guide to Transforming Your Life.

Strahan has a straightforward philosophy to attribute for his fortunate trajectory, telling Success magazine in 2016, "If you do hard work, a lot of good things go your way."
