Cutting right to the chase, Rush Limbaugh amassed a whopping net worth of $600 million at the time of his death.

Back in 2018, American business magazine Forbes reported his earnings at $84.5 million, which is a massive number, to be fair. Likewise, another leading media portal, Talkers Magazine, estimated that his show, 'The Rush Limbaugh Show' had over 15.5 million listeners making it the most-listened-to radio show in the entire country. No wonder how he garners a net worth valued at $600 million.

Limbaugh's success as an author doesn't get talked about much, but he managed to reach the very top there as well. His first two books, 'The Way Things Ought to Be' and 'See, I Told You So,' both managed to rank number one on The New York Times Best Seller list for 24 weeks.

Not to mention, his books have been pretty popular among school teachers too. In a school in the most conservative district in Florida, a teacher who went by the name of Esther Byrd wanted to use one of Limbaugh's books as a prop for Nassau County school to support her husband Cord Byrd's campaign. The woman indeed pleaded on her Facebook with a lengthy message to use the deceased author's books.

Rush Limbaugh's Left Some Lavish Houses To Wife

It was a shame how Rush Limbaugh died last night due to lung cancer. The highly respected political commentator was survived by his wife, Kathryn Rogers, whom he loved dearly. The widow might be at the lowest point of her life right now, losing the man she loves, but she would be cherishing how her husband left her an enormous mansion that spans over 34,000 square feet. As per online estimates, the mansion-like house comprises seven bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, and a private elevator which justifies its worth as $50 million at the present time.

Rush Limbaugh knew how to live a luxurious lifestyle and do justice to his $600 million net worth by residing in some of the most lavish houses.

Later, he sold the mansion for a staggering $11.5 million.
