Martin Lawrence – $110 Million
Martin Lawrence nearly didn’t go into show business – but thank goodness for us, and for his bank account, he made the plunge. He started off with What’s Happening Now!!, which led to role after role – including big earners Blue Streak and the Bad Boys films. His success demonstrates how easily one decision can change someone’s life – his choice to forgo a career in boxing for one in comedy resulted in a cool $110 million.
Drew Carey – $165 Million
We all know Drew Carey – but did you know he started off serving in the military? His life changed after his release, when he went into stand-up, which he hasn’t stopped since. Probably best known for hosting Whose Line Is It Anyway?, Carey now hosts The Price Is Right, so don’t worry – you can still find him on your TV screen. Those of us who have laughed along with Carey and the other ridiculously hilarious and talented comedians on his various TV shows can agree that he has definitely earned his $165 million.
