CONAN O’BRIEN – EST. $150 MILLION


Of course, we all know who Conan O’Brien is. Conan O’Brien wrote scripts for SNL and The Simpsons at first. He got a phone call in 1993, asking him to succeed David Letterman on the Late Night Show with David Letterman. During the first year of Late Night, the ratings and viewers’ judgment were terrible. People described him as ‘constantly jumping in front of cameras with no rational intentions ‘. Conan was gradually accepted by mainstream audiences and became the funny guy behind the talk show, Late Night with Conan O’Brien.

But aside from being a host, the 57-year-old is also a writer, producer, and comedian. These stints helped him amassed a net worth of $150 million. After his time on his iconic show, he went on to have another program to his name called Conan, since 2010. For his work on Conan on TBS alone, he gets a whopping $12 million of annual salary. When he left NBC, he reportedly received a staggering $32.5 million settlement. The network also agreed to pay him $12 million, which went to his staff.
