Thanks to her anchor positions on shows like 20/20, The View, and ABC Evening News, Barbara Walters has accumulated a whopping $170 million net worth, according to Celebrity Net Worth. While the 91-year-old journalist has a decades-long career that can be attributed to her millions, it was actually when she sold her stake in The View that set her net worth over the top. 

According to Showbiz Cheat Sheet, when Walters retired in 2014, she decided to sell her control over the talk show for "tens of millions." This pushed her net worth over $150 million. And while Walters has donated some of her money to charities, like the $15 million that went to her alma mater Sarah Lawrence College in 2015, that hasn't made a dent at all on her total net worth (via Philanthropy News Digest). What's more impressive than that is the legacy Walters will be leaving. In her final The View taping, the TV host said that her biggest pride was seeing "all the young women making and reporting the news" and that "if [she] did anything to make that happen, that's [her] legacy" (via Wealthy Genius).
