For about three decades, the man behind "The Howard Stern Show" has turned into perhaps the most famous radio host in America, even becoming a pop culture icon since that time; now that he's been in Sirius XM for nearly a decade, what is Howard Stern's net worth?

For anyone in any business, Howard Stern's net worth is incredibly high, going up into the hundreds of millions of dollars - but the sum is even more impressive when considering that he's made a name for himself by working in radio, a medium that's been "dying" for years.

Evidently it's not the case for this one famous host, as Howard Stern's net worth has kept growing rapidly as he's one of those rare interviewers that gets celebrities to open up about difficult times in their past - like last December, when Food World News reported that Lady Gaga had confessed to him that she had been raped when she was just 19 by a producer of the music industry.

Now it became evident once again why Howard Stern's net worth is so high, as Yahoo! News reports that he sat down with Madonna to discuss her new album, "Rebel Heart," and the Queen of Pop reflected on her past as a rape victim, after she talked about having been sexually assaulted when she was 19 years old, something she'd already discussed for the first time in 2013 in an essay that was published on Harper's Bazaar.

Now, KWCH reports that Howard Stern's net worth is about to grow even further, as the radio host is currently undergoing contract talks with Sirius XM, as his current one is about to expire by the end of this year - and many wonder whether the satellite radio company would survive losing Stern.

Currently, website Celebrity Net Worth lists Howard Stern's net worth at an incredible $550 million, with a yearly salary of $15 million.
