Jerry Seinfeld Net Worth: ‘Seinfeld’ Streaming On Hulu Exclusively After Multi-Million Contract – What’s The Deal With Jerry Seinfeld’s Net Worth?

After having created, produced and starred in "Seinfeld," the most successful and beloved sitcom of all time, Jerry Seinfeld's net worth is only a few hundred thousand million dollars short of making it to the billion, but chances are in a couple of years he'll reach that sum after the incredible deal with Hulu to stream the show.

Not too long ago, Jerry Seinfeld's net worth made news after the comedian and actor sold the rights to stream his show exclusively to Hulu for a deal that's thought to be between $700,000 and $900,000 per episode.

As it was previously reported, Jerry Seinfeld's net worth (along with that of Larry David and the people involved in the production of the 90s sitcom) had a big boost last April after the deal; although the details weren't made public, sources say that Hulu paid approximately $160 million for the entirety of the series.

According to NBC News, the show only recently went online in Hulu, and that could mean Jerry Seinfeld's net worth increasing further, as it's still unknown whether they'd be paying the holders of the rights annually for the show; in any case, the entire run of the show is now available.

Besides the incredibly high Jerry Seinfeld net worth, the show has been making news from other ends: Business Insider reports that the comedian collected autographs from those authors who once appeared on the show and they're currently on display because of the Hulu release, including signatures by "Breaking Bad" Emmy winner Bryan Cranston, "Friends" star Courteney Cox and "Iron Man" director Jon Favreau (who was coincidentally also in "Friends").

Since the show ended, Seinfeld has taken a much more private approach to life, although appearing in events often and hosting his own web series, "Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee," where he mixes his love for comedy with his gigantic collection of classic cars, mostly Porsches.

Currently, Jerry Seinfeld's net worth is $800 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth - and with the growing revenue from his hit show, it wouldn't be surprising if it reached the billion in a couple of years!
