re: Celebrity who you can’t believe has the net worth they do.

What do Adam Sandler and Jerry Seinfeld have in common? That's at least a contributing factor.

No, and unless there is bacon involved, I don't plan on it.

Spade - $60-70 million.

Spade is only worth $60-70M because he’s friends with Sandler. If it weren’t for Sandler, Spade would be at 1/10th of that.

For me, it’s Adam Sandler. I like him and find him funny but he seems like a guy who would be financially just as successful as David Spade.

Comparing net worth:
1. Sandler - worth $420 million and just added a $250 million Netflix deal.
2. Spade - $60-70 million.

That makes perfect sense to me.

Spade hasn't been a lead type dude in major movies for a pretty long arse time, and if he has 1 or 2 I'm not thinking of, he's not doing it consistently.

Sandler is putting out 1-2 movies per year it seems, and all of them seem to do pretty darn well.

I’m still blown away that Rhianna is a billionaire either there’s incredibly high mark up and profit margins on cosmetic products or these cosmetic companies that celebrities start are part of a worldwide money laundering scheme because it seems every time one gets started lately the face of it becomes a billionaire almost overnight.

It is so interesting seeing which celeb brands succeed and which ones eventually fade out. When I was growing up, the big thing for female celebrities was to have a perfume. Today, many of those fragrances can be found on the shelf at Walmart.

I do think we've reached a point where simply putting your name on something isn't enough. Rhianna's brand is supposed to be nice quality, and you can see that she put a lot of work into the line. It isn't random unbranded makeup from China that she put her name on (which you can very much do if you want -- and many celebs have).

Absolutely incredible that someone can earn that much money and end up with (almost) nothing to show for it. Couple of Monty Brewsters without the payoff.

My boy Johnny Knoxville is supposedly worth $75 million.

This is a good example of “would you take it?” His list of injuries is ridiculous. He has a permanent catheter, and said that his dick is like a sock that has lost its elasticity. This came from the stunt where he tried to do a backflip on a motorcycle and the handlebar came down straight on his junk. He thought he was peeing himself, but looked down and it was blood. He also had an eye injury in his most recent movie, and when he was at home recovering from it, he sneezed and his eye popped out.

Would you go through all that for $75 million?
