What is Glenn Beck's net worth? Media mogul slammed for comparing Twitter bans to Nazis putting Jews in ghettos

'Glenn Beck is still talking? Why? And what kind of troglodyte would believe what he has to say?' a Twitter user commented

Glenn Beck made headlines with his views on the crackdown by social media platforms and tech giants on President Donald Trump following the Capitol Riots that erupted last week. The renowned media mogul, in a chat with Fox News' Tucker Carlson compared this to the holocaust as he formed a direct comparison with the social media bans to what the Nazis did to the Jews. According to the Daily Beast, Beck said "This is like the Germans with the Jews behind the wall."

He added: "They would put them in the ghetto. This is the digital ghetto." That Beck is one of those never to hold back his thoughts is well documented. With Beck trending on Twitter, the interest of how much he's actually worth piques quite naturally. For those unaware, Beck's net worth, according to Celebrity Net Worth is estimated to be $250 million with an annual income of $20M. The 56-year-old is best known for being the CEO and founder of Mercury Radio Arts and hosting his own radio show, 'The Glenn Beck Radio Program.'

Beck became a household name for hosting the TV program, 'Glenn Beck'. He had a decorated stint with CNN winning the Marconi Radio Award for Network Syndicated Personality of the Year in 2008. He later shifted base to Fox News. In 2011, Beck quit the network to start his own channel called TheBlazeTV, which was previously known as GBTV.

He was classic meme material for his conspirational rants where just about everything was compared to the holocaust. And with the recent developments, Beck was at it again. “We made one of the biggest mistakes of the 20th century by taking our own citizens and listen to this, confiscating their wealth, making sure they couldn’t work, shutting them down, and then putting them in camps,” he first said, comparing it to Japanese internment during World War II.

Twitter, in the meantime, expressed their opinion on Beck's statements. "So, whenever Glenn Beck opens his stupid mouth, stupid s**t comes out. I'm still waiting for this loser to found his objectivist s******e like he promised he would and to f*** off forever, read one of the tweets.

"Glenn Beck is trending. That reminds me of the time he accused me and my friends of being a CIA front. #tweetfleet #eveonline #shootbluestellvilerat," read another.

"Glenn Beck stole Arnold Schwarzenegger‘s story of growing up in Austria and he compared what happened at the capital Proud Boys he said we’re very much like they Hitler youth. And then he turn the story around," opined one.

The memes weren't far off either. "Glenn Beck is still talking? Why? And what kind of troglodyte would believe what he has to say?" asked one of the people after listening to Beck's thoughts.

"Glenn Beck is the absolute flaming bag of excrement I always thought he was. I curse him with a perpetual rancid fart smell in his nasal passages, an inflamed tearduct and random alternating bouts of constipation and virulent diarrhea. Let it be," a comment read.

Beck, during the talk also added, “this is the road we are on again. You can talk all you want, Jews, do whatever you want behind the wall.’ That’s not meaningful,” he added. “And that’s where we are. That’s where millions of Americans will be."
