Ben Stiller | $200 million
Born to Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara, a celebrated comedy duo, Ben Stiller decided to follow in his parents’ footsteps at an early age. That’s probably one of the best decisions he’s ever made, since today, he is widely regarded as one of the best comedians in Hollywood. Some of his credits include The Ben Stiller Show, comedy-drama The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, as well as movies Zoolander and Heartbreak Kid featuring his legendary dad.
When he is not being hilarious on a set, Ben is either growing his real estate list or keeping himself busy with writing, producing, and directing. Considering all that plus his $200 million net worth, we can all agree that Ben has made his parents proud.
Abby Elliott | $1.5 million
Luckily for her, Chris Elliott's daughter, Abby Elliott inherited her father's sense of humor. She too is a comedian and was a Saturday Night Live (SNL) cast member from 2008-2012. Among her most hilarious impersonation were those of Kate Middleton, Khloé Kardashian, Meryl Streep, and Rachel Maddow.
Aside from comedy, Elliot also maintains a noteworthy acting career with roles in film and TV. One of her most memorable performances in the last few years was that of Brooke Von-Weber in The Odd Mom Out. She currently has a net worth of $1.5 million but we have a feeling this number is only going to get bigger. Hollywood usually tends to do that.
Damon Wayans Jr. | $35 million
Just like his father, Damon Wayans Jr. can make you laugh to tears in no time. Born in the family of entertainers, Damon Wayans Sr. first started off in the ‘80s as a stand-up comedian before he shifted his focus to acting, and then writing and producing. His son, Damon Wayans Jr., is an acclaimed actor, writer, and stand-up comedian in his own right, best-remembered for his role of Brad Williams in hit sitcom Happy Endings.
So yeah, both Jr. and Sr. have the same name, the same career, and the same look. Are we sure they aren't the same person? Anyway, while it will take Wayans Jr. lots of time and hard work before he has a portfolio or savings account to compare with his fathers’, we can all agree that Hollywood appreciates the good genes with a net worth of $35 million.
Bill Hader | $12 million
Saturday Night Live alum, Bill Hader was labeled as a jokester even as an elementary school student. He must have gotten it from his father, who dabbled in stand up comedy himself. Though Hader was initially interested in filmmaking, he realized his true passion was comedy after taking improv classes with a couple of friends. His SNL audition soon followed, as did his current net worth of $12 million.
Hader left SNL after eight seasons as an established actor with an impressive record of roles in film and TV. His most memorable role in the last few years is that of the name character in the HBO dark comedy, Barry. Hader portrayed a depressed hitman in the funniest way possible, which won him two Emmys.
Reggie Watts | $2 million
Take a minute to look at that crazy hair. Good. Now, let us tell you a little bit about Reggie Watts. Most people might know Reggie as the leader of the house band from the Late Late Show with James Corden (also on our list. Shocking.) but there is a lot more to him. The man is an incredibly talented musician, and he incorporates live musical improvisation in his comedy shows.
Watts describes himself as a "disniformationist" since his humor often disorients his viewers. Seriously, take a few minutes to watch a YouTube clip of one of his shows. The appropriate response is usually "What did I just watch? Why did it make me laugh? I'm so confused..." His unique sense of humor, as well as his musical talent, are what earned him a net worth of $2 million.
