Maury Povich Net Worth As Of 2022
Maury Povich is reported to be worth $80 million. That’s how much he and his long-term wife, fellow singer Connie Chung, are worth together.
He is most known now for hosting “The Maury Povich Show,” which premiered in 1991 and was later dubbed simply “Maury.” Above all, “Maury” is known for broadcasting paternity test results live in front of potential dads of children.
Frequently, the outcomes are violent, hilarious, emotional, or a combination of the three. Maury’s tagline is, “You are NOT the father.”
“Maury” is a disputed TV show that is generally regarded as “low brow” as a result of this recurring theme.
