His career is fascinating. Limbaugh was born into lawyer’s family that wasn’t poor but also not filthy rich. He dropped out of Southeast Missouri State University after just two semesters and his first real job was a music disc jockey. At this point, it didn’t look like young Rush is gonna make a fortune. But the jobs at radios really suited him. He’s well spoken and in 1980’s Limbaugh already had his own national radio show. Road to stellar net worth was opening.
Although controversial according to some, he became famous. Numbers of his listeners grew and Limbaugh published several best-selling books, such as The Way Things Ought to Be and See, I Told You So. He even started his own brand of neckties and sold so many of those, it made $5 million in the first year of sales. However, this business later ended. We guess people had enough of his ties but they can never have enough of his speeches.
