He pretty much does it all.
Ryan Seacrest is our very own renaissance man of entertainment.
He’s hosted everything from his morning radio talk show to America’s favorite singing competition. And now, he can add Kelly Ripa co-host on “Live with Kelly and Ryan” to his unstoppable resume.
Seacrest’s break in entertainment began back in 1993 while hosting “Radical Outdoor Challenge” on ESPN. But, clearly, that’s not all he’s done.
Here’s why Ryan Seacrest’s net worth is $380 million.
Back in 2012, Jimmy Kimmel joked that he knew why unemployment is over 8 percent. “Because of Ryan Seacrest,” he stated.
It’s true. Seacrest is literally everywhere. From the red carpet to the radio to the small screen, it doesn’t end. He’s hosted a vast array shows, including “American Idol,” “E! Live from the Red Carpet,” the Rio Olympics and “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve.”
Also, his popular radio show on LA’s KIIS-FM earned him $55 million alone last year, according to Forbes. Despite it, though, it was his run on American Idol that gained him the most prominence as the “highest earning reality television host to date.” He made $15 million per season.
In 2009, Seacrest spread his talents to behind the camera and started Ryan Seacrest Productions.
His company produced E! Network hits, including “Keeping Up With the Kardashians,” “Kourtney and Kim Take Miami,” “Khloe and Lamar,” “Denise Richards: It’s Complicated” and “Mixology.”
And similar to “KUWTK,” His next production venture will spotlight Kylie Jenner’s life as a young fashion and brand mogul.

In 2014, Seacrest began his very own men’s clothing line called Ryan Seacrest Distinction.
“Among the inspirations Seacrest cited for the launch collection were the ’50s and ’60s, Frank Sinatra in his Rat Pack days and Mid-Century Modern architecture,” the LA Times posted.
The collection includes dress shirts, neckties, tie clips, belts, pocket squares and three-piece suits sold exclusively at Macy’s.
Although Ryan has not profited from purchasing the $37 million Beverly Hills mansion, the mansion was meant to be a long-term investment.
Unfortunately, though, In February, the three-acre nine-bedroom estate accidentally caught fire. Thankfully, nobody was hurt and firefighters saved the Beverly Hills mansion from the flames that damaged Seacrest’s outdoor patio furniture, according to People Magazine.
Aside from the house, Seacrest has also invested in several digital applications, including Stamped, a mobile application allowing participants to record and share their work. He’s also invested in Digitour Media, a touring social media music festival and production company. On top of those two, he’s got a $1 million investment in the invention of the Typo iPhone Keyboard, a keyboard that doubles as a case for the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s.
Seacrest’s relationship with Ford stems from a 15-year partnership with American Idol. He’s also partnered with Coca-Cola in 2009 on a 13-year deal with “American Idol” to launch their ongoing “Open Happiness” campaign, according to Ad Age.
Overall, Seacrest has undoubtedly built a media empire from hard work and a lifelong passion. And now, he’s going strong as Kelly Ripa’s latest co-host on ABC’s “Live with Kelly and Ryan.”
Our only question is, when does this 21st century renaissance man find the time to sleep?
