Bill Cosby | $400 Million

During his high-school days, Bill Cosby showed potential as a baseball and track and field player. Even so, he was often known for acting on the school’s stage productions and, most especially, for being the class clown. With his talent for performing and entertaining people, Cosby pursued a career as a stand-up comedian before he found widespread recognition as an actor.  After starring in the espionage adventure series, I Spy, Cosby landed an acting credit in the now-iconic program, The Bill Cosby Show.

As of 2020, Bill Cosby has a net worth of $400 million. With Cosby owning 20% of The Bill Cosby Show’s profits, he has since earned at least $300 million from its syndication deals alone. With that said, a portion of his wealth has been spent on the actor-comedian’s art collection, which includes works by Picasso, Rembrandt, Thomas Hart Benton, and Matisse – his gallery alone is worth around $150 million.
