With a weekly wage of £39,000, two homes near Windsor castle, a stable of racehorses and a £2million pad in Barbados, Jeremy Kyle's millions have bought him a life of luxury.
His main home is a £3million townhouse in the affluent Berkshire town of Windsor, where an assistant puts his bins out and a chauffeur collects him in a blacked-out Audi.
Jeremy, 53 - whose father the Queen Mother's accountant - also owns a stable of racehorses and has enjoyed prize-winning success with Black Corton and Old Guard.
And that's on top of his £2million Barbados holiday home which he regularly escapes to with nanny-turned-fiancée, Vicky Burton, 37.

Privately educated at the exclusive Blue Coats School in Reading, where fees start at £5,565 a term, Jeremy is believed to have a net worth of around £4million.
And apparently determined to protect his wealth, within days of Jeremy Kyle Show guest Steve Dymond's suspected suicide he set up his own private media company, Hales Media Limited, giving Vicky a stake.
His privileged life is a world away from that of Steve, who died alone and saddled with debt in his rented council house bedroom.

The 63-year-old grandfather's body lay undiscovered for days before his landlady found him surrounded by hand-written letters.
Born and raised in Devon, Steve married and divorced in his early 20s and allegedly experimented with soft drugs and got involved with petty crime.
At the time of his death he was subject to a warrant after failing to attend court in February over £4,300 unpaid fines for taking a motor vehicle without consent in 1997.
He moved from Shropshire to Hampshire before settling in the Portsmouth town of Gosford and finding work on local building sites.
And things started to look up when he met former fiancée, Jane Callaghan, 48, and moved into her Barratt Homes terrace in the working class area of Rowner.
But their relationship crumbled when she allegedly discovered Viagra missing from Steve's stash and accused him of cheating.
The digger driver was forced to move out and used Gumtree to find a room in a council flat near Portsmouth harbour.
And despite moving back in with Jane briefly, she kicked him out for good after he failed a lie detector test on The Jeremy Kyle Show - a move said to have left him devastated.
The show has now been cancelled with immediate effect, however ITV has confirmed it will continue to work with Jeremy on other projects.
