After having starred in his own successful series in the 1990s, "The Drew Carey Show," as well as the fun improv comedy game show "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" Drew Carey's net worth is among the highest of any television stars, from hosts to actors.

Starting out as a stand-up comedian after having served in the U.S. Marine Corps, Drew Carey's net worth has grown steadily over the course of the past twenty years or so, following a successful career as an actor, comedian and even game show host.

The man who has been the host of "The Price is Right" since 2007 wasn't always among the richest television stars in the world; Drew Carey's net worth only began growing after he first appeared on "The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson" in 1991, where the famous talk show host was so impressed with Carey that he asked the comedian to sit in the couch next to Carson's desk - something that was considered a great honor at the time.

Following that scene, the next step for Drew Carey's net worth to become what it is today was joining the "14th Annual Young Comedians Special" in HBO for the very first time, not long after having his very first appearance in "Late Night with David Letterman."

By 1995, Carey had gotten his own series, sitcom "The Drew Carey Show," which saw the breakthrough of a few of the world's funniest people of the next few years, including Ryan Stiles (now a regular on "Two and a Half Men"), Christa Miller (who has gone on to co-star in shows like "Scrubs" and more recently "Cougar Town") and late show host Craig Ferguson.

Later came the hit improvisational comedy show "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" which featured the talents of Stiles, Colin Mochrie and Wayne Brady, as well as seeing guest stars like Robin Williams - the show also got franchised into the United Kingdom.

Currently, Drew Carey's net worth stands at $165 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth - surely, much more than we would've thought!
