JAY LENO – $450 MILLION

Jay Leno studied at Emerson College, where he obtained a degree in Speech Therapy. It was there that he also started his career in comedy by putting together a comedy club. After being featured in The Tonight Show as a comedian, he was eventually given minor roles in films and television shows like One Day at a Time, Fun With Dick and Jane, and Good Times. Then, in 1992 he replaced Johnny Carson as the host of The Tonight Show.

Leno also invests in cars and owns over 300 vehicles valued at around $100million. Jay Leno is probably one of the most iconic personalities on TV. However, behind all of his fame and fortune lies a career filled with shallow backlash directed towards the host’s facial structure and outside appearance. We can’t say for sure if all these things didn’t hurt Jay, but being the funny guy he is, he continues to give the world more entertainment than we deserve.
