Jackie Mason– 89 years old

Net worth: $9 Million

A prominent person once said that comedy is simply a funny way of being serious. There is probably one person who can personify this description: Jackie Mason. Recognized as one of the greatest of his time, Mason is known for delivering smooth political satire lines, and of course, precise comic timing. His fans adore him for keeping a keen eye on the mundanities of everyday life and deriving humor from it.

In the ‘60s, the rabbi turned comedian appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show a couple of times. However, there have been misunderstandings that put his career on break. After a decade, the comedian appeared in a hit comedy film, The Jerk. He also started a one-man show, The World According To Me, which is to be credited for his success. It goes without saying that Mason has received major awards for his talent, receiving an Emmy under Outstanding Writing in a Variety or Music Program for his one-man show. He also secured the 63rd spot in Comedy Central’s list of 100 Greatest Stand-Ups of All Time.
