Seinfeld was a huge hit while on air—earning the comedian $267 million in 1998 alone—and then raked in billions after that year's finale, first through record-breaking syndication deals, and now as a streaming juggernaut.
How did Seinfeld get so much money?
Syndication and streaming alone levels it to almost a billion. In 2017, Seinfeld brought his entire catalogue of Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee over to Netflix with a cherry on top; the legendary comic agreed to produce two more stand-up comedy specials – one of which has already streamed.
Jerry's take has to be the biggest out of anyone on the show. He has reportedly made at least $440 million in earnings from Seinfeld over the years, per NBC.
