In 2003, he began hosting the HBO talk show Real Time with Bill Maher.

As a host, Maher has an annual salary of $10 million. But this is by no means the only way for him to accumulate wealth. A large part of his net worth today is actually due to his wise investment in New York Mets in 2012. He made a wise investment and donated money to charities. The fact that Maher serves on the board of PETA proves his passion for charity. He owns 3.2 acres of property in Beverly Hills, which he bought from Ben Affleck in 2003.
