When God gave people talent, some were obviously standing at the front of the line and secretly loading extra into their pockets. Donald Glover is probably one of those people. After all, a $35 million net worth doesn’t just happen to average people. His comedic chops were first recognized by Tina Fey, who hired him as one of the writers for her TV show 30 Rock.
He later became famous playing the part of Troy Barnes in the comedy show Community. Saying this wasn’t his last on-screen appearance would be an understatement. Other than additional roles in film and TV, Glover has also made a name for himself as a musician, producer, director, and voice actor. All that accumulative talent ended up being translated into a $35 million net worth.
$8 million
After eleven years in Saturday Night Live, Fred Armisen has secured his place as one of the funniest people in the industry. Not many people know he has other talents too. Armisen dropped out of college to pursue a career in music, which was his first step in showbusiness. He has also made a name for himself as an actor, writer, and producer so there is more to him than his impressive comedic chops.
Armisen's romantic life seems to have been pretty tumultuous. He was briefly married to musician Sally Timms and even more briefly married to actress Elisabeth Moss. He is currently dating actress Natasha Lyonne, but in case things don't work between them, at least he has his $8 million net worth to keep him company.
$100 million
Bob Saget began, like many others, as a stand-up comedian, and has continuously done stand-up for over thirty years all over the country. His comedy tended to be a little more on the risqué side. He became very popular when he joined the show Full House, playing the part of Danny Turner for eight years.
Later on, he also starred in Fuller House. He was also the host of the very hilarious, America’s Funniest Home Videos. In January 2022 Bob Saget passed away, leaving the house less full and sadly more empty.
$12 million
The face of American comedy would have looked a lot different without Seth Meyers. The comedian, actor, host, writer, and producer was the head writer and a regular cast member of Saturday Night Live from 2001 to 2014, which means he is the mastermind behind some of the best comedy sketches in the last two decades. Let that and his net worth of $12 million sink in for a minute.
Prior to his work in SNL, Meyers had a hot dog stand and was making his way as an improv artist. Those improve skills must have been very handy when he started performing live on a weekly basis. After his SNL stint, he went on to host his very own talk show. It's almost as if it's a standard section in a comedian's contract to host a talk show once he's at a certain age.
$16 million
Everyone loves Rebel Wilson. The actress and comedian appeared in various beloved films, such as Bridesmaids, What to Expect When You're Expecting, Pitch Perfect, How to Be Single, and Isn't It Romantic?. Most people don't know that Wilson actually started out in the field of Mathematics, and was very academic in high school. She once contracted malaria during a trip to South Africa and hallucinated herself as an Oscar-winning actress, which is what led her to pursue a career in acting. Now, that’s quite a story!
The Australian actress has been a leading activist on body positivity and weight loss. She also dated the popular British actor and comedian, Matt Lucas, in 2012. The couple ended up living together in West Hollywood until the end of their relationship, in 2015. Since then, Wilson has been mostly single and lives by herself in her multi-million dollar apartment, as you'd expect someone with a net worth of $16 million.
