BILL COSBY – $400 MILLION
Bill Cosby may be one of the best stand-up comedians there is, but he has always been on the side of his lawyers nowadays. The 83-year-old star has recently made an enormous noise not because of his fame but because of the several sexual assault allegations made against him. About 50 women made a complaint against the legendary actor, which some dated back as far as 1965. It should be known, however, that these allegations may have been blown out of proportion as a scheme to gain money from the former comedian. Celebrities usually face these kinds of lawsuits whenever their net worth elevates to the hundreds of millions and their lawyers have to come in and defend them.
Bill has a net worth $400 million due to his time in the business and successful TV shows and movies. But as he has to pay his victims about $5 to $10 million and others may even get as high as $50 million, his net worth will inevitably become lower in the next few years, but for sure he can recover.
