We all know that celebrities and star athletes alike make more money than some of us could ever dream of having. But we still can’t help gawking when we hear the net worth’s of our favorite celebs.
Take a look at the list of the world’s wealthiest stars, and see if you can read this without your jaw hitting the floor.
Jon Stewart – $80 million
Soon after his first hosting gig on You Wrote It, You Watch It, Stewart found himself on MTV with his namesake show: The Jon Stewart Show. Most notably, however, was Stewart’s stint on The Daily Show, which he co-hosted from 1999-2015. While we shed a tear during Stewart’s exit announcement from the beloved political talk show, we know he’s happy enjoying his millions.
Stephen Colbert – $45 million
With 2 Peabody Awards, 2 Grammys, and 9 Primetime Emmy’s, it’s no wonder Colbert is worth as much as he is. Colbert was actually joined by Jon Stewart in hosting The Daily Show, and the pair made an unbelievable team for satirizing daily news. It didn’t matter which side of the political spectrum you fell on, these guys were a funny duo. In 2005, Colbert left the show to host a spin-off series, The Colbert Report. At one point, his show was Comedy Central’s top-rated series. Following his TV successes, Colbert was even offered to perform at the White House Correspondent’s Association Dinner. Colbert knows showbiz – find the happy medium when talking about polarizing issues and try not to offend too many people!
