Jeff Dunham – $60 Million
Jeff Dunham – some find his ventriloquist dummies hilarious, others find them creepy, but no one can deny their (and his) genius. In particular, his Ahmed “the dead terrorist” dummy act has received over 150 million YouTube views. Dunham is not only popular, but he’s even a record holder – he won the Guinness world record for the greatest number of tickets purchased for a stand-up tour. Given his record-holding status, a $60 million net worth seems like just the beginning.
Dave Chappelle – $45 Million
Although he got his start in stand-up and comedy films, Dave Chapelle has finally reached the pinnacle of comedy goals – he now stars in his own show, Chapelle’s Show. Having a TV show named after yourself has major benefits outside of just career success – one of them being a nice nest egg of $45 million.
