Jerry Seinfelds

Since 2006 Jerry Seinfeld has been the highest-paid comedian on the planet. (That year Kevin Hart edged him out.) Seinfeld has an estimated net worth that is a staggering $950 million. But even if he was far less wealthy, Seinfeld would never have to perform another stand up set, or ride in cars with comics, drink coffee, or develop another TV show for until he dies and still earn millions each and every year. This is the enduring force of the cult TV show Seinfeld which he developed with Larry David.Reruns of the show about nothing earn as much through licensing agreements, syndication, and DVD sales that Jerry Seinfeld could live off the ever-growing earnings from the show alone. After the show's end in 1998, Seinfeld has made more than $3 billion. It's the most profitable one-hour show ever to air on television. At the height of its popularity, Seinfeld was making one million dollars per episode (slightly more than $1.5 million today , adjusted for inflation). Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David split close to $400 million per year in syndication payouts.
