Dan Akroyd | $200 MILLION

A lot of people look up to the actor, producer, comedian, and filmmaker Dan Aykroyd. He was one of the original members of Saturday Night Live’s ‘Not Ready for Prime Time Players,’ which led him to his golden ticket to fame. During his time with SNL, he played in a musical sketch alongside John Belushi, which eventually became The Blues Brothers. He later got a taste of legit stardom thanks to his role in the 1980s classic Ghostbusters, where he was nominated for a series of successful films under his credits.

Here’s a fun trivia for you all. Did you know that he intended to become a priest in the past? Yes, right in the middle of his journey, he decided to drop his studies, ditch his search for a college degree and started working as a comedian in nightclubs for a couple of years. All of his effort in the industry contributed to his $200-million net worth. He is also a businessman, having co-founded the Crystal Head Vodka brand. Now, he is considered to be one of the wealthiest comedians of his time.
