(FOUR) RICH AS HELL
When Jerry went on tour a few years ago he was STILL the highest paid comedian out there making $85 million. This isn’t THAT much money to Jerry. The dude has enough money to buy Canada or at least make a serious offer. He made $267 million in 1998 alone. The syndication money is in the 100 million range as well as just doing whatever he wants. He’s at the point now where he’s making money just by breathing. It’s amazing he even leaves the house. He doesn’t have to act, do stand up, or do anything else and his kids, grand kids, and probably a few more generations will be able to live comfortably.
(THREE) CARS
With that much cash, he has to spend it on something. Apparently it’s cars. Supposedly he owns one of the largest Porsche collections in the world. He has an ENTIRE PARKING GARAGE full of them. Not just like a room with cars, but one that has multiple stories and levels of cars. I could get into the specifics, but he owns some really rare and expensive shit. It’s weird to think of him as a “car guy” though. That’s a little too Leno-y for my tastes.
(TWO) WRITER
Seinfeld owns television and dominated everything else, so he might as well kick ass with other areas. Yeah, he’s also a bestselling author. In 93 he wrote a book about Seinfeld and his stand up stuff. Then in 02 he did a kids hook called “Halloween”.
(ONE) STILL STANDING
He’s got everything he could want or need. He’s taken care of, his family is okay, he has his cars, hes immortal and will be in people’s homes on one of the best shows of all time for all time. He doesn’t need to do standup comedy any more. He still does. He tours his ass off, does NEW material, and is still getting out there. He has the luxury of picking his punches, but he’s still fairly active in keeping his face on television. It’s awesome.
