8Richard Simmons – Net worth – $15 million
The 66-year-old Milton Teagle Simmons, best known as Richard Simmons, is an American fitness personality and also an actor.
With a net worth of $15 million, the fitness expert is best known for his ‘Sweatin’ to the Oldies’ fitness series. And his cool, energetic personality helps too.
When it comes to diet and exercise, this is the man you have to talk to.
His voice, those shiny clothes and last but not least, his perm, are unforgettable.
Do you know what it’s ironic? Or maybe not that much. He had a weight of 268 pounds when he graduated high school.
Moving to New York City, Richard Simmons worked as a waiter, then in advertising and for cosmetic companies.
Later, he moved to Los Angeles, where he lost 123 pounds and opened an exercise studio.
Originally called ‘The Anatomy Asylum’, the studio is still open, only this time, under the name ‘Simmons’.
In short time, Richard Simmons became the friend, the inspiration for many people with health problems.
