Bob Circosta is a television host who has a net worth of $400 million. Bob Circosta has earned his net worth as television's first ever home shopping host and has achieved over one billion dollars in personal product sales on live television. Circosta is one of the pioneers of the home shopping industry. Circosta hosted a Florida-based radio talk show in 1977.
As a favor to station owner Bud Paxson, Circosta started selling avocado-green-colored can openers for $9.95 on the show and sold everyone of them within the hour. This led Paxson to create a local home shopping cable station, and later launched nationwide with the Home Shopping Network (HSN). Bob was the host.
