CHUCK LORRE: ~$500 MILLION

We often see the name “Chuck Lorre” in the directorial, writing, or producer credits in some of our favorite TV shows: The Big Bang Theory and Two and a Half Men, to name a few. Chuck Lorre may be a multi-millionaire now, but he also had humble beginnings. Chuck Lorre was born in New York in 1952.

He started his career as a musician but found no success in it. He then began writing soundtracks yet later shifted to writing television scripts. Until he was hired to write for the sitcom Roseanne, his success all began there, and years later, he has accumulated a massive $500 million net worth. In March 2012, Lorre was inducted into the American Television Hall of Fame. In January 2019, Lorre won the 76th Golden Globe Awards for Best Music/Comedy Series for The Kominsky Method
