However, with his co-host Kelly Ripa reportedly earning around $17 million over the past few years, it is possible that Ryan was earning more before he decided to move on to other projects.

The American Top 40 host also own a lot of property – or at least he used to. While his New York home is reportedly a $75,000 a month luxury rented townhouse, the former Live! host recently parted ways with not one but two dazzling Beverly Hills properties.
The first, a seven bedroom luxury secluded mansion, was sold for $51 million. Meanwhile, in December 2022 he also placed a more modest home on the market for $3 million dollars, claiming it was a space which offered "an incredible opportunity to remodel or rebuild".
