Jerry

 Since 2006, Jerry Seinfeld has been the highest-paid comedian on the planet. (That year, Kevin Hart edged him out.) Seinfeld's net worth is currently an astonishing $950 million. But even in a world where he were less wealthy, Seinfeld would never have to do another stand-up set, ride around in cars with fellow comics getting coffee, or develop another TV show for as long as he lives and he'd still make millions each and every year. This is the reason for Seinfeld's beloved TV show, Seinfeld. It has been reruns since its inception with Larry David. The show generates so much income through licensing agreements and DVD sales that Jerry Seinfeld could barely live on the endless paychecks. Since its end in 1998 Seinfeld has made over $3 billion. It is the most successful half-hour program on television in history. In the peak of the show's popularity Seinfeld earned $1 million per episode (slightly more than $1.5 million today inflation adjusted). Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David shared nearly $400 million per year in syndication-related payouts.
