BILL COSBY

For over six decades, Bill Cosby ruled over Hollywood’s comedy scene. After starting his career in the 1960s, Bill eventually paved the way for his own NBC show, The Cosby Show, which ran for more than a decade. He also starred in other comedy series such as Fat Albert, Little Bill, and I Spy. Throughout those years, the comedian accumulated a whopping net worth valued at $400 million.

He then poured his investment money into businesses, real-estate properties, and luxury cars. He is known to be one of the wealthiest comedians of all time, after all. However, everything went downhill for Cosby in 2018. He had to face allegations thrown at him, which was said to have occurred while he was taping for his The Cosby Show. He had to shell out a big sum of money to pay for his lawyers and settle the case but to no avail. The actor eventually went into a facility, distancing him from the Hollywood spotlight.
