Chuck Lorre – $800 Million

What do the hit sitcoms The Big Bang Theory, Mom, and Two and a Half Men have in common? Well, they have Chuck Lorre as the genius behind them, earning the 66-year-old TV writer/producer the nickname the “King of Sitcoms.” Before venturing into TV, Lorre toured the US as a songwriter and guitarist. He contributed to singer/songwriter Deborah Harry’s Rockbird album by penning her hit French Kissin in the USA. Lorre shifted to writing soundtracks and eventually scripts for TV shows, starting with Roseanne. More than three decades and several hit shows later, Lorre is worth an incredible $700 million. Lorre and his current wife Arielle had their wedding in September 2018.
