Celebrities That Made It In Life: How Much Are They Worth Today?
Arsenio Hall – $16M
Arsenio Hall is back in the headlines for participating in Eddie Murphy’s Coming 2 America film. Before his return, though, he became nothing but a nostalgic figure for fans of The Arsenio Hall Show, his long-running ’90s/00s talk show. Yet, he had one good reason for leaving show business: he was raising his son.
Hall, who wore many hats from being a comedian, host, TV personality, actor, producer, and writer, at least has a $16-million net worth today. He was smart enough to invest in real estate after years of acting, so the 65-year-old celeb was able to accumulate his wealth.
Wesley Snipes – $10M
For the first time, Wesley Snipes and Eddie Murphy got to work together through the 2019 movie Dolemite is My Name. However, the Demolition Man star seriously wanted to act in Coming to America during its 1988 debut. Today, Snipes made that dream come true with Coming 2 America.

The 58-year-old actor/film producer/martial artist now has $10 million to his name. His riches can be traced back to his prominence in the ’90s film scene, starring in hits like White Men Can’t Jump and the Blade trilogy. Snipes even put up his own production company for film and TV.
Martin Lawrence – $110M
Since Martin Lawrence entered show business in the early ’80s, he has had sold-out shows, got banned from Saturday Night Live, has his own sitcom, and started two film franchises that grossed $400 million. Knowing all this, are you even shocked that he’s got $110 million for a net worth?

Through the years, the 56-year-old Lawrence has maintained a loyal fanbase. That’s why he was able to effortlessly slip back into his role as Marcus Burnett in 2020’s Bad Boys for Life. We’re looking forward to seeing him reprise the character in Bad Boys 4, currently in pre-production.
Chris Rock – $60M
Being a cast member of the early ’90s resurgence of Saturday Night Live gave Chris Rock the footing to become the kind of celebrity he is today—a successful one! After all, the comedian, who also dabbled in acting, writing, producing, and directing, is now worth $60 million.

In 2021, we saw Rock in a more serious light as he played Zeke in Spiral, the ninth installment of the Saw film franchise. He also served as its executive producer, which is the same work that he does for the recent TV series titled Sidetracked.
R. Kelly – -$2M
R. Kelly rose to fame with songs like I Believe I Can Fly and Step In The Name Of Love. At the peak of his career, his net worth was likely in the millions. But in April 2020, Kelly admitted to a judge while pleading his case to be released from jail that he has an IRS debt of almost $1.9 million.


A year prior, the R&B crooner was seen smoking a cigarette outside his Trump Tower apartment while on his phone. The 54-year-old was seen beside a Rolls-Royce, but it wasn’t his as per a TMZ source. He also got evicted from his Georgia mansion.
O. J. Simpson – $3M
O.J. Simpson used to be a big name in the football and acting scene, but now he only has $3 million to his name. Where did the riches of this 74-year-old go, you might ask? Well, he was accused of murdering his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend, Ron Goldman. He was acquitted for Brown’s death, but Simpson had to pay the Goldman family $33.5 million for the Goldman civil case.
By 2007, Simpson got jailed for a robbing/kidnapping incident that happened in Las Vegas. The Juice, as he used to be called in the field, now accepts funds from pensions through the NFL and the Screen Actors Guild.
