Bill Cosby – $400 Million

Just to put it lightly – Cosby is not everyone’s grandpa anymore. Before his recent legal issues, Cosby paved the way for African-American comedians, and began his own TV empire. He earned three Emmys for I Spy, but is best known (until recently, at least) for the extremely popular series The Cosby Show.
