Julia Louis Dreyfus has a net worth close to 250 million due to being in a few other series but Jason Alexander and Michael Richards have a net worth of around 45-50 million. He probably should give them a bigger cut of the pie because while I understand he was the writer and developer of the show without Kramer, George and Elaine the show would have went no where.
I read that Jerry Seinfeld has a net worth of around 1 billion dollars.
- Thread starter Ryan Lemonds Hair
- Start date
They all held out for their final contract to get a bigger cut is my understanding.
Seinfeld created the show with David and collected all the spoils. The other 3 were not going to another year or two unless thery got a bigger piece of the pie., I think they got 1 mill/episode for their last year(s).
A lot of the money that has been made is from the syndication royalties. The last deal they signed with Netflix that starts in 2021 was for around 500 million for 5 years.
Julia Louis Dreyfus is from a filthy rich family. So..... she kinda got a head start on Jason and Michael.
50 million is plenty for Jason Alexander, those dudes hit the jackpot. Great show BTW
Give me 40-50 million and I don’t care if you get 4 times as much.
I'm good with that. The show was pretty much the same as his standup. So, his ideas = his money. Songwriters own the songs, not the singers.
Kramer and George have only 45-50 million? How do they even get by on that?
Heh, that ain't why she's rich. And I also would bet it's way more than 250million at the end of the day..
His ideas? You mean Larry David? Not that Jerry Seinfeld doesn't track with his comedy.. but no, the show is Larry's, his humor and his creativity. It certainly shows in Curb.. which I find a ton better than Seinfeld.
Fair enough. He had a big part of it but his net worth reflects that.
For sure. Their comedy meshed well anyways. I want to say JLD (and her family) is in the billions mark. Shes one of the richest in Hollyweird.. probably has a few kids locked in a fancy wine cellar, too.
You're right. He should donate 98% to urban renewal projects
Elvis wanted to record Dolly Partin's "I Will Always Love You" but the Colonel insisted upon 50% of the publishing rights (he always did). Dolly refused. That would have cost her untold millions of dollars over the years. More than 30 people have recorded that song.
By far my favorite sitcom of all time. There are some scenes in Seinfeld that would not float in todays society.
JLD I think is the daughter of the founder of the Dreyfus’s Group a multi generational family business involved in many different business functions.
I heard this a long time ago and did the research and her story is quite interesting. I can’t remember exactly but it seems she was the favored child even tho she pursued acting as a profession as opposed to joining the family business.

**** both them (for willingly signing contracts), and their agents (for not negotiating better contracts).
Damn, you're right. I've seen every episode multiple times, and the only black character I can remember was the Kenyan marathon runner that overslept because the power went out due to Kramer tripping a breaker in his hot tub.
Edit: remembered another one. The caregiver that rubbed oil on George's bald head. Such a great show.

Wonder if Netflix will ban that episode when they add Seinfeld later this year?You're forgetting this one...
I can't believe I forgot Jackie Chiles. Unexplainable. Inconceivable. Impossible.
Uh, we don't allow any outside syrups, jams or condiments in the restaurant. And if I catch you in here with that again...I will confiscate it.
