Few people around the world with access to a television are unaware of who Jerry Seinfeld is. After all, the show named after him is perhaps the most iconic sitcom to ever be on television. By nearly every account, Seinfeld is a legend in the comedy world. He is a comedian, actor, writer, producer, director and more. One title he doesn't yet have, however, is that of "billionaire."
According to Forbes, Seinfeld is among a set of multi-millionaires who could become billionaires by 2015. Such a total would rank Seinfeld in the ranks of Bill Gates and Warren Buffett. Seinfeld is fourth on the list of 15 "Billionaires in the Making," with an estimated net worth of $800 million. He is outranked on the list only by Facebook's Sean Parker ($920 million), gaming mogul Marc Pincus ($850 million) and television and film mogul Jerry Bruckheimer ($850 million). Below Seinfeld on the list are Groupon founder Eric Lefkofsky ($750 million), hedge fund investor William Ackman ($700 million), Quintiles founder Dennis Gillings ($700 million), Occidental Petroleum CEO Ray R. Irani ($700 million), filmmaker James Cameron ($650 million), basketball great Michael Jordan ($600 million), golfer Tiger Woods ($500 million), music mogul Jay-Z ($450 million), Craigslist founder Craig Newmark ($400 million), playwright/actor/director Tyler Perry ($350 million) and LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman ($340 million).
Seinfeld isn't through surprising everyone with his antics, evidenced by his recent gig writing the forewords for the Letters from a Nut series by Ted L. Nancy. Interestingly enough, no one knew who the fictitious Ted L. Nancy was, and rumors began to grew that is was, in fact, Seinfeld behind the series of comedy books. Seinfeld finally came out and revealed who the real author was: fellow comedy writer Barry Marder, a longtime collaborator of Jerry Seinfeld.
Although it doesn't appear as though Seinfeld will return to sitcoms any time soon, he does have many projects lined up. He is involved in many worthy causes, and on Nov. 13 he will emcee the unveiling of the renovations to Philadelphia's National Museum of American Jewish History.
The renovations cost $150 million and increased the museum's space from 10,000 square feet to 100,000 square feet at Independence Hall, according to The Jewish Week. Also on hand will be Bette Midler, who will headline the gala. The museum's president and CEO Michael Rosenzweig said of Seinfeld and Midler, "They were at the very top of our list. There were other individuals we were interested in, but they were both our first choices. We hit a home run in all respects."
Along with his numerous side projects, Jerry Seinfeld hasn't given up his first love, which is standup comedy. He has many dates lined up throughout the fall, and those looking for Jerry Seinfeld tickets are likely to find a convenient city among the stops. In the fall and winter, he has stops booked in cities like Atlantic City, N.J.; Phoenix, Ariz.; Kansas City, Mo.; Miami, Fla.; Baltimore, Md.; Chicago, Ill.; Las Vegas, Nev. and many others.
