JERRY SEINFELD – $950 MILLION

Jerry Seinfeld, primarily known for his TV sitcom Seinfeld, is probably one of, if not, the most successful comedians in Tinseltown. With a net worth of $950 million, Seinfeld is among the wealthiest TV stars in Hollywood. So how did Jerry get to this much financial success? Was it proper investment planning? Does he simply have a fat paycheck? Well, it’s a combination of both plus royalty fees.

Apparently, apart from his hefty salary, Jerry made millions upon millions by charging companies like Netflix a handsome price to acquire rights to his show. This makes Seinfeld one of the shows with the most franchise and syndication royalty charges. He also acquired a 7.5% share in his own show that allows him to earn more on top of his salary. He also has a TV show with Netflix called Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, and he doesn’t show any signs of stopping anytime soon.
