Jack Paar and fellow TV legends climbed into the millionaire class by saving and smart investing. George Gobel built wealth in real estate and Ramada Inns after a live TV run, while Dean Martin and Fred MacMurray leveraged NBC contracts and film payoffs. Others like Ed Sullivan, Welk, Garry Moore, and Dinah Shore prospered from long TV runs, with many early-money earners from filmed series. Only a handful today reach the same cinema-centered riches, citing stars like Lemmon and Sinatra among the few remaining.
