In the midst of the Bill Cosby scandal that has taken the world by storm (after over a dozen women have come out to accuse the family figure comedian of sexual assault), Kathie Lee Gifford's net worth could potentially be affected after she also came forward.

In a career that has spanned for over four decades in different areas of entertainment - singing, songwriting, talk show hosting, acting and even comedy -, Kathie Lee Gifford's net worth is fairly high, but who's to say whether it will become endangered after she also came forward about suspicious behavior regarding Bill Cosby?

According to Fox News, Gifford didn't say she had been sexually assaulted by Cosby, but she did say that he had tried to kiss her when they were both on tour together, as she and her back-up singers would open for the comedian's act. However, it's hard to know whether in the future this statement would affect Kathie Lee Gifford's net worth.

Gifford is most famous for having co-hosted "Live! with Regis and Kathie Lee" from 1985 to 2000, when she was replaced by Kelly Ripa. However, this is where the biggest part of Kathie Lee's net worth comes from.

During her time hosting the morning talk show - for which she received a number of Daytime Emmy Awards nominations - she was a part of a few major scandals, including the news in 1996 that her clothing line sold at Wal-Mart was manufactured from sweatshop labor in Honduras.

Eventually she was cleared of charges regarding responsibilities, and she ended up working with Bill Clinton and the federal government to further investigate the case and worked towards protecting children from sweatshop work.

Currently, Kathie Lee Gifford's net worth stands at approximately $20 million according to Celebrity Net Worth - but only time will tell whether her issues with Bill Cosby will have a big impact on her earnings.
