The TV show probably was that lucrative. I don't know if he owned the rights to his shows and if he did there's a ton of money there.It looks like he lives modestly, so relatively small earnings over the decades could be millions now. He also has a number of books in print. There might also have been appearance fees over the years. I've stopped being surprised when I see that someone who is a marginal figure in pop culture (not Ebert, just in general) has made a huge fortune.
