Look at the list breh..most of the money comes from tv shows which are in syndication and that's how you make your money. Chris is rich no doubt but he doesn't have that tv money rolling in like everyone else on the list and the films he makes the most money off of are the madagascar flicks but even those aren't seeing adam sandler money, jim carrey money, etc

 

[Whitty Hutton]

Matt Groening is a comedian?

 

[Tryna Makit]

Mr Bean tho. That weird lookin mofo paid in the shade, Money trees like a mugg.

 

[MartyMcFly]

Matt Groening is a comedian?

Yeah man. not in the sense that he tells standup jokes but he started as a comedy cartoonist and a comedy writer

 

[Food Mane]

Who is terry fator? Larry the cable guy?

 

[manyfaces]

Man, I would have never guessed that corny muthafukka Byron Allen was banking like that. Had to read up on him after seeing this list. Turns out he does a lot of production work and launched a bunch of his own tv channels. That's boss shyt.

I guarantee you most of his loot comes from that big momma's house franchise. No wonder he did a 3rd one. I wonder what his syndication deal is like with Martin tho

I bet it's paying big. It's running a lot more lately, and I remember all of the drama that was involved with getting DVD release. I bet he was negotiating for a big payday before releasing those.

I hope so. but the only difference is, it's mostly viacom money which is different then what Cosby and Seinfeld and the simpsons have which is not only through different channels but also different countries plus the amount of time they've been in syndication. Based on that chart, I'm assuming he's getting paid off of it but the residuals from his movies are a lot bigger. Big Momma's house, bad boys, probably even open season

 

[Kings County]

no eddie murphy this list is a lie

 

[Brozay]

Hes got deeper pockets than Eddie Murphy?

 

[Street Knowledge]
