Phil Donahue – $20 Million, Connecticut

Phil Donahue became a famous media personality, best known as the creator of The Phil Donahue Show, which he had hosted throughout its whole twenty-nine-year run. It was a talk show focused on social and political themes and it featured audience participation. This has earned Phil the nickname “King of Daytime Talk” and he is counted among the most influential TV faces ever. At 83 years old, Donahue is still active. Phil owned this Beachside Avenue home in Westport, Connecticut, since 1998 but sold it in 2013 for $20M. The sale reportedly included the adjoining smaller real estate.
