What is Bill Cosby's net worth?

As of 2021, Cosby has an estimated net worth of $400 million according to Celebrity Net Worth.

The majority of his worth comes from his now off-air show The Cosby Show.

During the peak of the show, Cosby was the highest-paid TV actor in the world and received a base salary of $1 million per episode before renegotiating his pay up to $4 million per episode.

Before starting his own show, Cosby got his comedian career started back in 1961 as a stand-up act at clubs throughout Philadelphia and NYC.

Why was Bill Cosby in jail?

The 83-year-old was accused of incapacitating Andrea Constand with blue pills.

He then allegedly molested her while she drifted in and out of consciousness at his Philadelphia mansion in 2004.

In December 2019, Cosby appealed to have his conviction overturned but lost the case.

On Wednesday, June 30, 2021, Pennsylvania's highest court overturned Cosby's conviction after finding an alleged agreement with a previous prosecutor that prevented him from being charged in the case.
