Bachelor in Paradise will see some new, yet familiar faces as hosts on season 7. After the departure of Chris Harrison, who has hosted The Bachelor and all of its spin-offs since the inception of the show in 2002, former bachelorettes Kaitlyn Bristowe and Tayshia Adams took over as hosts of season 17 of The Bachelorette.

Instead of former bachelors or bachelorettes replacing Chris Harrison in the current season of Bachelor in Paradise, four celebrities will take turns hosting the show. David Spade, Lil Jon, Lance Bass, and Tituss Burgess will all be featured as guest hosts, starting with Spade as the initial greeter of the contestants to the island. 

With so many fabulous famous names, viewers might be curious to learn more about the celebrity guest hosts, including their net worths.
