In 2009, Oprah offered to produce Oz's syndicated show, and thus, The Dr. Oz Show debuted on Sept. 19 of that year. In addition to his show, Dr. Oz has appeared on a show titled Oprah's Allstars, a show exploring his surgery career called Surgeon Oz, and a brief hosting stint on Jeopardy! Additionally, he is the co-author of eight books, including YOU: Losing Weight.

Although many would think that Dr. Oz makes money from his television programming alone, that estimation wouldn't be correct. Per Celebrity Net Worth, Dr. Oz's estimated net worth is $100 million, but some of that can be attributed to his wife's family, according to Forbes. Dr. Oz's wife, Lisa Oz (neé Lemole), is from the Asplundh Tree Expert dynasty, which has $4.7 billion in revenue and is the 98th biggest private company in America as of 2022.
