Gib Gerard’s Net Worth

While there are several guesswork and conjectures regarding Gib’s stepfather, John, and mother, Connie Sellecca’s net worth, there hasn’t been much discussion when it comes to his own wealth and finances. Tesh is undoubtedly a millionaire with his fortune somewhere between $5 to $10million while Connie is also quite comfortable money-wise. However, it’s their other partner’s financial specifics that are still in the mist.

Regardless, there shouldn’t be any harm in saying that the comic podcaster/actor is doing pretty fine in terms of material prosperity. One just cannot ignore the possibility that he might be making quite substantially from all those sponsors and affiliates his show Intelligence For Your Life is promoting.
