Chris Tarrant’s announced that he quitting as the host of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire back in October 2013.
However, it doesn’t look like his net worth has been affected too much.
Since the show, the star has been building up his net worth by hosting a series of game shows for ITV.
In 2012, Tarrant, 72, also began a travel documentary series, Chris Tarrant: Extreme Railways, which has been compared to similar programmes presented by Michael Palin and Michael Portillo.
As well as these and providing audio recordings for some console games, and a tabletop game based on WWTBAM, Tarrant has racked up an impressive estimated worth of £20 million.

Chris announced it was ‘time for him to move on’ from Millionaire back in 2013.
He said in a statement at the time: “It’s been a huge part of my life for fifteen years and I’ve loved every minute of it, but it is time for me to move on from Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.
“It’s been the most remarkable journey and I consider myself very fortunate to have been associated with Millionaire from its inception.

“ITV have been fantastic in their support from day one and to see its huge success has been thrilling.”
Following his decision, ITV cancelled the popular quiz show.
However, it was brought back last year with Jeremy Clarkson taking over as host.
