Chris Harrison has been steering the Bachelor Nation ship since 2002, when he began hosting The Bachelor. Spin-offs in the form of The Bachelorette, Bachelor Pad, Bachelor in Paradise, and even The Bachelor Winter Games soon followed, and I think we can all agree the ABC shows wouldn't be the same without him.

And while his job is to guide the Bachelor and Bachelorette as they try to pick a spouse, Harrison is pretty private about his personal life, including his finances, leaving Bachelor Nation to wonder: just how much does the host make, and what is his net worth?

What is Chris Harrison's salary?

According to Yahoo! Finance, a TV Guide article from 2011 put Harrison's salary was about $60,000 per episode. That adds up, big time. Refinery29 noted that in 2017, Harrison hosted 13 episodes of The Bachelor, 11 episodes of The Bachelorette, and about 10 episodes of Bachelor In Paradise, making his salary for the year at least $2 million.

CelebrityNetWorth.com estimated that Harrison's salary is closer to $8 a million a year.

What is Chris Harrison's net worth?

The Bachelor isn't Harrison's only revenue stream. He's also made money through hosting Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, his romance novel called The Perfect Letter, and appearances on shows like Single Parents and Hot in Cleveland.

Reports vary as to Harrison's total net worth. CelebrityNetWorth.com puts it at $16 million, while TheRichest.com estimates his net worth is closer to $12 million. A discrepancy over exactly how many millions you're actually worth? Sounds like a pretty good problem to have.
