Jerry Seinfeld is an American comedian, actor, film producer, and television producer with an estimated net worth of $800 million. Although Seinfeld has not been on air since 1998, the hefty residuals help keep him at the top of the highest paid comedians list. Seinfeld is 5’11″ and weighs 195 pounds. Jerome Allen Seinfeld was born on April 29, 1954 in Brooklyn, New York. Seinfeld’s father was a sign maker and his mother a homemaker. He grew up in Massapequa and spent some time volunteering in Israel when he was a teenager before returning to the States to go to Queens College, where he graduated with a degree in communications and theater.
He started doing stand-up professionally after college and made his debut in the Catch a Rising Star nightclub. His neurotic and observational humor caught on with audiences and eventually he was booked for The Tonight Show in 1981. Seinfeld killed it and was invited back several times, as well as to other late night shows. During that time he also had an appearance on Rodney Dangerfield’s HBO special and a small part on Benson, although he was fired from that gig. In 1988, Seinfeld and fellow comedian Larry David came up for the idea of a sitcom named The Seinfeld Chronicles, which was later shortened to Seinfeld.
The show, which initially included some of Seinfeld’s comedy routines – as he played a caricature of himself on the show – would go on to become among the most popular in television history and ran for 9 years. It was still the highest rated show when it ended. According to Forbes, Seinfeld earned more than $267 million from the last year of the show in 1989 alone and it was reported that he turned down a $5 million per episode salary to continue making the show. Since the show ended, Seinfeld has returned to doing stand-up comedy periodically, and lent his voice to the movie Bee Movie in 2008. In 2012, he started Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, a web series that was later nominated for an Emmy. He wrote the book Seinlanguage in 1993. Seinfeld married Jessica Sklar in 1999 and they have three children.
