Jerry Seinfeld has made a ton of money from a show famous for being “about nothing.” The comedian has now been declared a billionaire by Bloomberg.
According to a new report, Seinfeld is responsible for more than half of his net worth, but tour income, real estate holdings, and alleged investment earnings also contribute to the valuation.
Bloomberg estimated that the syndication agreements for Seinfeld have earned him around $465 million, with another $94 million coming from a Netflix streaming deal. By estimate, Seinfeld has also grossed more than $100 million since the 1980s from his tours and owns $40 million in real estate, including an apartment on Central Park West in New York City and a property in The Hamptons.

The biggest leap in the analysis is the assumption that Seinfeld invested his money starting in 1990; Bloomberg calculated a cash appreciation based on the “historical performance of the MSCI World Index.”
As Bloomberg notes, Seinfeld refuted the valuation through a representative, who called the net worth figure “inaccurate” without providing further details.
This spring, Seinfeld will embark on a stand-up tour and you can look for deals here. He is also scheduled to appear in the 2024 version of Netflix's Is a Joke Fest alongside Jim Gaffigan, Nate Bargatze and Sebastian Maniscalco. Secure your seat here.
