Born Robert William Barker, Bob Barker has been a household name for as long as people can remember.
Despite enlisting, he was never active on duty; he actually had his sights set on college.
He even guest-starred as himself onHow I Met Your Motherin 2007, perScreenRant.
Sadly, the longtime host retired that same year at the age of 83.
Everyone remembers his iconic tagline at the end of the show, “Help control the pet population.
Have your pets spayed or neutered” (viaFOX News).
It is hard to guess that Barker is a huge animal rights activist?
During his years on thePrice Is Right, he made a whopping salary of $10 million per year.
He frequently donates millions of dollars to animal rights organizations.
In gratitude, the organization subsequently named a ship after the legendary host (viaCelebrity Net Worth).
He also donated more than $2 million toPETA, which earned him a headquarters location in his name.
As of writing, Barker is 97 and is still the jovial household name we all love!
