Tom's career has spanned across multiple platforms, so now without further ado, let's break down how he made his massive fortune.

Earnings From Early Career  

Tom began his career as a DJ for local radio station WHAV, in his home town of Haverhill, Massachusetts. After gaining a fair amount of popularity through another station, Portsmouth's WHEB, he put his hands on additional TV and radio auditions. He got his first breakthrough as a TV host from the local game show, 'Granite State Challenge,' on New Hampshire Public Television. After that, he moved towards shoes like '4Today,' 'Evening Magazine,' and the infamous 'Lottery Live' for WBZ. 

Tom already had enough experience as a host by then and even had his early-morning radio show called 'The Tom Bergeron Show.' He remained on WBZ-TV as a lifestyle reporter and commentator for the station's expanded hour-long noon newscast. Tom must have had a decent amount of salary from his initial experiences, which contributed to his massive fortune.

Income From Later Career

After gaining enough fame and experience, Tom got to co-host the 'Breakfast Time' on FX, which was later changed into 'Fox After Breakfast' when the show moved to the Fox Network. He also hosted the 'Hollywood Squares,' for which he grabbed a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Game Show Host in 2000. Tom began hosting ABC's 'America's Funniest Home Videos' from 2001 and kept on hosting until 2015. He was also the senior producer of the show. 

Tom's most significant rise to fame came from the ever-popular ABC show 'Dancing with the Stars.' He captured the attention of the audience with his irresistible charisma and wacky humor. For a total of 15 years, the brilliant host continued his job wholeheartedly and openly accepted the show's decision to continue next season without him and his co-host, Erin Andrews. He had a brilliant run with the show and had a massive income of $150,000 per episode in 2011, which may have increased later on. He is also on the video request site called Cameo from which fans can request a clip of him.
