The comedian, actress and talk show, Ellen Degeneres, is currently one of the most respected individuals in Hollywood. A lot of people recognize her as the host of the widely syndicated talk show The Ellen Degeneres Show. With the help of her show’s ever-growing success, her peers in show business regard her as one of the most famous and successful comedians of her generation. Can anyone really doubt this?

She’s worth an estimated $450 million, which definitely isn’t bad for the one-time waitress who had to work more than a few odd jobs just to make ends meet. Well, all that investment she put into honing the craft of comedy certainly paid off because she’s now one of the richest people in Hollywood. Also, it looks as though she still got many more miles stored in her gas tank and we can’t wait what’s in store for us in the next couple of years.
