The show must be much more popular and lasted longer than anything he could have wished for back in 1984. That has allowed him to also become more popular, famous, and wealthier than a Game shows host could ever have anticipated back in 1984.

What is Alex Trebek's salary?

The personal assets of Alex Trebek, the annual Salary from Jeopardy, along with his Tax records, actual income from investments and all other sources have not been made public by Alex Trebek. Salary: Rumoured to be in the $10-million range (reported in 2003 as in the 6 million dollar range). With 25 years of a large salary Alec Trebek must make as much or more income from investments of past earnings, Add to that any income from the showing of older episodes. But the bottom line is that all of the income estimates about Alex Trebek are just that, estimates without any knowledge of the actual figures. The guesses are not even intelligent, years ago the star of the Good Wife reportedly turned down 25 million for a three year contract on ER to be part of a large cast. Late night host Conan got that much for not doing the show after Jay Leno came back. Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune are the highest rated syndicated shows on TV and the 3 Stars are supposed to make less than that. The best estimate would be still in the eight figures range, just not the very beginning of it.

What is the sexual orientation of Alex Trebek?

Alex Trebek is not gay. He's been married twice, and has two children. His sexual orientation has been rumored for years, but there is NO proof of such. I believe it is a well-kept secret of Trebek's. What is marriage got to do with it? Gay or bi-sexuals tend to have children of their own. Looking at a photo of Alex Trebek suggests otherwise.
