Bill Cosby – 1937

William Henry Cosby Jr. is a popular American stand-up comedian, actor, and author.  His career as a stand-up comedian began in San Francisco during the 1960s. What followed was a successful television stint from I Spy to the eponymous sitcom The Bill Cosby Show. You can gauge the latter’s success because the show ran for two seasons from 1969 to 1971.

In 1972, the show Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids were greatly successful, making him widely popular. His Cosby Show was another feather in his illustrious cap. Apart from his television and film career, he also won several accolades such as the honor of Doctor of Education from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Cosby walked down the aisle in 1964 with Camille Hanks in and has five children together.

Cosby is worth $400 million thanks to his spectacular success at The Cosby Show, where he won $4-million-per-episode payments. Baring a few age-related health issues, he is doing fine in retirement. And we are sure he enjoys shuttling around his properties in Shelburne, Massachusetts, and Cheltenham, Pennsylvania.
