welcome to the worst of the best podcast I am your host Ryan and with me today returning guest host and forever my
0:49
brother Jason how you doing I'm doing well thanks for having me back for Better or For Worse I am forever your
0:56
brother yeah we should do the best of the or the worst of the best of my
1:02
brothers which one the worst I guess it depends on the stage
1:07
and phase of our life I guess and it may also depend on your co-host yeah yeah that might interfere with your choice
1:14
that's true yeah I really enjoyed our last recording if you haven't heard it yet dear listeners go back and listen to
1:19
the one I did with Ruben and Jason we did the uh top death of the celebrity
1:25
deaths or whatever you call them we picked our worst choice of those who have passed away in 2020 as of this this recording there's still a few days left
1:31
in uh in December and in 2020 and there's been some deaths since that uh episode got released but nothing not
1:37
worthy and certainly nothing to to Dethrone our pick I don't think no I've seen a couple people um I haven't seen
1:44
anything that would sway my decision so as it stands right now our picks still
1:50
stand no no appendage episode is necessary So speaking of celebrities
1:55
these people are living these are celebrities that are alive and well and not only are they alive and well they
2:01
are worth a lot a lot of money you might be speaking too soon what do you mean
2:08
there might be one or two people on this list that' be hilarious post humously
2:13
still rake it in well there's actually one person on this list I'm surprised is still alive to be honest with you so
2:20
it'll be interesting to see if this individual will pass away by the time we release this episode so as of right now
2:25
these are the 30 celebrity and net worth these are the top net worth celebrities
2:31
in the world and at the end we will pick independent of each other not knowing our answers beforehand who we feel is
2:38
the worst or maybe the least deserving of the money that they are worth I'm going to do with the value they have
2:44
been equated to really what they provide me as a person or even to the world one way the other are they really worth what
2:50
they what they're getting paid these are the 30 richest celebrities in the world 2020 don't think it includes athletes or
2:58
active athletes oh okay okay active athletes okay yeah like I'm reading what
3:04
they deem to be celebrities so the minimum net worth required to be in the
3:09
top 30 is 600 million that's a nice list Believe It or Not Jason there are 12 celebrity billionaires in the world
3:15
today billionaires let's find out who they are yeah let's find out who they are they deserve the billion according
3:21
to us yeah yeah it's going to probably be somebody maybe in the billions that will be my worst pick and as of right
3:28
now for the record I don't have a worst pick I glanced over the list briefly and we're going to go in it kind of cold I
3:34
don't know Jason if you even have a worst pick yet no I don't actually I barely scanned the list I just thought
3:40
it'd be kind of interesting to see who's on here it's always interesting to see who actually makes this much money and
3:46
how much and also how much you don't even know of who they are it's crazy it's yeah it's crazy okay before we get
3:53
into it when we throw numbers around like 600 million for example to the
3:59
billions this here's a really neat thought exercise for people like us who are little peons in this world who will
4:05
never make or Mount to anything financially or other otherwise if you were given a million dollars and
4:10
rightfully so you'd say oh wow that's I could do something with this I could really you know it would change my life if I was smart with it and what have you
4:16
of course it would change your life you could do something with that you probably would have to still work but you'd have your house paid off and all your debts and you would be comfortable
4:23
so the thought exercise is how long does it take to count to a million if you did
4:28
one second at a time do you know this answer well it' be 1 million seconds
4:33
yeah yeah of course but how many days that I I don't know I don't know okay so
4:39
how long does it take to count to a million so one number per second with no breaks at all or for any reason it would
4:45
take 11 days okay 13 hours 46 minutes imagine you're counting out a dollar
4:51
bill every second to get that's how much money that is just a million it would take you 11 days to get to the end of
4:58
that count one to that goes into your pocket so imagine making a million dollar in 11 days
5:04
wonderful now how long would it take to count to let's say one billion so now
5:10
again the million dollars change your life took 11 days this gives you in your mind a graph a scale okay I know I've
5:17
done these of exercises in the past a billion is just unbelievably okay check this out this is
5:24
absolutely insane it would take 11,000
5:30
574 days that's basically 31 years yeah that's crazy a million
5:38
would change your life Jason yeah I know and it would take you 11 days to count to that value it would take you 31 years
5:46
actually 31 years 251 days to get to a billion and some of these are worth more than a billion so it just goes to show
5:53
you the 600 million range how you know so we're talking yeah 15 16 years same idea to count that high that just shows
6:00
you the graph of how rich these people are compared to you and I it would take me two days to count sorry it take me
6:07
two minutes to count my money 60
6:13
seconds yeah I mean one like one oh great cool I'm worth $1 I just use that
6:20
little thought exercise for our listeners who maybe haven't done this before just to give you an idea the difference between a millionaire a
6:27
multi-millionaire a half a billionaire and a billionaire plus the graph of how much money how much cash how much value
6:34
they have monetarily anyways compared to other celebrities and compared to little peons like us okay so here we go at
6:40
number 30 Simon Cowell needs no introduction I know you're not a big American Idol Watcher back in the day
6:45
Jason but you certainly know who he is I presume oh I know exactly who he is but yeah I don't really watch but I I
6:51
appreciate what he's done and the impact that American Idol X Factor and all the
6:56
rest has on pop culture sure 600 million not too shabby yeah not bad at all is this still
7:03
a thing yeah it is but he's not on I think he does xfactor now or America's Got Talent OR Britain's Got Talent one
7:09
of the one of those three that's his thing that's what he does and he's still doing it but in American Idol he's not
7:15
on that anymore he has been on that for 10 or 12 years and I stopped watching American actually when he left I just stopped watching all those old together
7:21
I watched it for him I enjoyed him on the show I was he was entertaining I didn't care about who the winners were once he left the show I stopped watching
7:27
and is there a reason he left just cut back or uh I think he went on to Britain's Got Talent I think he started there or America's got but money he
7:35
probably got paid more money to be honest think all of it his isn't it yeah he's a producer so I think some of it
7:41
still goes in his pockets yeah at number 29 Matt grainy it's not a name that
7:47
jumps out at me but the projects that he's involved with I uh recognize for sure um he's a writer cartoonist
7:54
producer he also has a net worth of around 600 million um he's primarily
7:59
known as uh in the animated television comedies such as Simpsons
8:05
Futurama yes the saying Simpsons is it's still going I remember we watched as kids and we weren really allowed to
8:11
watch it sort of we're kind of like it's a little bit adulty you know but it what you know people have you know ragged on
8:17
it and said oh it's lost its touch or whatever whatever it has or hasn't done is still going and this guy's Rich because of it and remember it was uh at
8:25
the beginning it was all about bart simpson being kind of that rat kid right you know cabanga he's on his skateboard
8:33
ripping through the city or whatever over the years it seems to have become
8:38
more of Homer it's the Homer show yeah yeah it's the Homer a lot of the side characters yeah it was kind of the B
8:43
Simpson show but everyone they listen to the audience people loved the Homer character yeah what has also happened is
8:50
is the audience has aged and they more aged into homers more like Homer than yeah we all
8:57
started out as Barts and then we grown up into homers yeah and I don't know anything about Futurama I can visualize
9:04
the cartoons of it but I've never watched the show right I watched Futurama my kids we got Disney plus and
9:10
both my 8-year-old my 8-year-old well sorry my nine-year-old son and my six-year-old son they watch Simpsons
9:17
like non-stop you know they got 30 Seasons to watch on Disney plus and that's a huge draw what a huge get for
9:23
Fox to get Disney or Disney to get Fox sorry to get the to get the Simpsons show so my kids they enjoy The Simpsons
9:28
it's funny how you get why they're jokes if you don't understand the jokes there's no harm it just goes over a kid's heads they just
9:34
watch the Antics so to speak right all right number 28 judio
9:40
elius that's a name I have not heard in a long time I probably never hear of him until
9:47
either he's dead or we do this again next year it's crazy Jay he's worth 600
9:52
million I haven't heard of any was that one song you did hero or something or I
9:57
could I could see the video in my mind wind's blowing on him or something his white shirt's pillowed in the
10:03
background his hair his hair his sexy eyes and he's got a record sales Jason
10:08
of over 300 million though biggest selling Latin artist of all time by Sony
10:15
I knew he was popular but I just I actually just didn't know I mean it's not my genre of music or he's not an artist I follow I just if you were to
10:22
tell me or make me guess how many albums he sold I probably would have guessed I don't know 25 million I don't know 300
10:27
is a lot it is a a lot but we're not really into the culturally the Latin
10:35
culture so no why would we know yeah so anyways he also has a vast estate portfolio so it looks like he's in real
10:41
estate that's how part of his money worth that real estate is worth 300 million alone so there's some half of
10:47
his net worth is in real estate so he's invested smartly good for him yeah exactly he's used his money and turned
10:53
into something else yeah money to make money right yeah so another musician one
10:58
that I recognize the name more than I recognize the music Jimmy Buffett yeah
11:04
you know it's somebody we all can recognize he's also not just musician but he does like he's an author
11:10
entrepreneur that's crazy I would never have guessed no like when you think of artists that tour around the world and
11:17
you know have massive shows you're not thinking Jimmy Buffett is making enough money to be number 27
11:26
at $600 million yeah I I it's I would never and I actually thought he was dead oh if you
11:32
were to tell me that Jimmy Buffett died in 2015 i' like okay yeah sure he's still alive and he's worth 600
11:38
million so those are two surprises to me going through this list right so another thing though that he has done is he's
11:44
used his name and uh his celebrity to do other projects other products that he
11:50
his income streams just isn't music anymore as restaurants hotels apparently even frozen meals you know he slaps his
11:57
name on stuff good for him so another smart businessman he he took his money
12:03
and made it more and this fan base are known as parot heads there you go all
12:09
right number 26 Dolly Parton we all know who she is she very recognizable yeah
12:15
she's very recognizable she has big hair big voice big personality big
12:22
personality a big record collection uh she's
12:27
outspoken she has big hits I said
12:34
hits and a big heart and a big heart and a healthy set of lungs for singing she's 70 something now but her
12:42
chest is 30 and her lips are [Laughter] 20 all right we love Dolly how can you
12:48
not love Dolly she's nice she's sweet and she's also smart with her money um much of her wealth has come from both
12:54
her own record sales as well as money made from other artists using her songs there you go of course Whitney Houston
13:00
with I I will always love you for the film The Bodyguard now we know her from
13:05
childhood to now but remember the variety show that she did late like
13:11
maybe late 80s yeah vaguely okay that was actually quite a fun show oh my turn
13:18
Okay obviously this is yeah not a surprise yeah Howard Stern coming in at
13:23
number 25 $650 million he just signed that new contract didn't he880 million
13:29
contract with Sirius I think it was for five years I think it was $80 a year 80 million a year or something silly like
13:35
that it's a huge contract yeah I mean to be worth $650 million I mean his
13:41
contracts have to be way up there obviously you know he's done some uh television he's done some movies here
13:49
and there but the majority of his money is coming from his talk radio right
13:55
still the king of radio he's tamed up a little bit over the years you kind of to yeah you can't say and do the things
14:01
quite the way he used to but he's actually a very good interviewer I shouldn't say actually he is a very good interviewer he's able to get things out
14:07
of his guest at other talk show or whatever type people cannot get other guests I think when you are a guest on the Howard Stern Show you go in knowing
14:14
that that Howard's gonna poke you uh he's gonna prod you he's gonna get stuff out of you that you wouldn't share on Jimmy Fallon as you say he has tamed way
14:22
down in some ways a better interview he's a highly intelligent guy to begin with he gets some of the
14:29
biggest stars to be on his show I think Joe Rogan is a pupil of his in some ways
14:35
yeah you know you have to be an intelligent interviewer to get a good interview if that makesense a master
14:41
Communicator yeah makes him the highest paid radio personality in America so there you go 650 mil not too bad no now
14:50
Matt Stone you know that name of course he was just Creator South Park South Park speaking of like animation South
14:57
Park itself is still longgo 20 20 years plus now I think must be at least 20 plus years yeah it's interesting Matt
15:03
Stone he's worth 700 million and you might ask yourself so why isn't cold Creator Trey Parker on this list is because he and his long-term wife they
15:09
just separated in 2019 and I don't think they had a prenup before they became popular good old I had no creative input
15:18
whatsoever in your Empire I'm going to take half of it well but Matt Stone he's
15:23
he's worth 700 million so we'd have to assume Trey is at least 350 half of that
15:29
half of a half or what's interesting we got another cartoonist yep it's amazing
15:36
how much these type of shows are worth it is weird and when
15:41
they started out people kind of poooo these shows I have a theory well because
15:48
they're always topical so they can stay fresh with Sati doing satire of current
15:54
events so you go watch Simpsons episode they're making fun of things in the '90s the early 2000s the same with now of
16:00
course South Park they'll do things like they're incredible yeah like almost within the
16:06
week yeah oh yeah it's insane yeah so I think part of the reason is they can always stay relevant and then on top of
16:13
the always staying relevant is there's that college crowd you know the 18 to 25
16:19
year olds college kids they're always rotating out you know they're sitting around and bored on the weekend or
16:26
whatever and they're watching South Park and like we May grow out of it as we get older in some ways but there's always
16:31
that younger audience always coming in ready to laugh at the world type thing so I think there's a combination of all those things being able to be modern
16:37
with a satire and it's cheap to make relatively speaking you're not paying a lot of live actors or props and sets
16:43
it's all animation you don't you can create your sets on paper sort of like literally exactly when you are basing
16:49
your show on satirical commentary of current
16:55
events you will never run out of a storyline if you set up a character or a
17:00
storyline you have to keep on building that for years and years and years and
17:07
you're going to run out of ideas but they ideas just based on like you say
17:12
the cerial commentary of current events they'll never run out of ideas because life happens right and it just keeps
17:18
giving them the storylines that they need and the voice actors though they age their voices quote unquote don't age
17:25
and so you don't have to worry about that either you can you're forever yeah right and that's with the Simpsons it's like 30 years running and the the actors
17:33
have gotten older but their voices are the same and people do multiple voices too which saves on casting you got one guy doing seven voices you got the next
17:40
one yeah James Cameron 23 700 mil uh we obviously know the things that
17:47
he's been involved with aliens he's an interesting character yeah he is but you know aliens Terminator True Lies Avatar
17:56
Titanic some of the biggest box office movies of all time yeah he doesn't make
18:03
a lot of films because he takes forever to do them for whatever reason but when he makes them they're just huge and uh
18:10
like you say he is interesting he uses a lot of his well shall I say his personal
18:16
interests yeah and ties them into his movies and piggybacks each other especially his interests in underwater
18:23
Discovery and going deep in the water and yeah he's fascinated Titanic so he made him Mo about Titanic
18:29
yeah I remember when that movie was getting made the budget was ballooning it was getting huge and all these pundits were like oh this is going to be
18:34
a huge bomb Titanic all those things were said you can go back and read those
18:39
articles before the film came out and of course it ended up being like the highest grossy film of all time forever
18:45
now it's Avatar you know or something like that or close to it top top five anyways in one best pitchers I loved it
18:51
I know there's a lot of hatred for it and for James but you know what he's a Workhorse yeah he's an innovator
18:57
inventor he's actually he's changed technology on film to create his films yeah that's what I'm saying his outside
19:03
interests have in has piggybacked his on film interest so they they work off each
19:09
other could to be he's a genius obviously yeah and I don't understand why anybody would really have anything
19:15
Jey because he's a tough nut on set he's probably a bit of a prick but honestly that's I wonder how many of these people
19:21
on this list are just nice easy going people but it's hard to get to where they are caving into everybody else's
19:27
needs yeah you have to have a vision and go with it there's some victims or VI I casualties along the way all right 22
19:35
Bono yeah we all know that is he's the guy that wears Shades he's worth $700
19:41
million now he's on here I guess are his bandm mates not that same quote unquote
19:46
Arena the group You2 of course they've released music steadily since the late 70s and they continue obviously to sell
19:54
they if they were do a CO not withstanding if they did a concert right now surprise showing a surprise concer
20:00
in San Francisco one day's notice would sell out they would need one day to sell it wherever they want to go they're that type of band huge history of music and
20:07
to draw from but it's Bono's elevation Partners Investment Group that made the headlines with a large pre-ipo
20:13
investment to Facebook that netted the group over1 and a half billion dollars
20:18
so Bono's take-home share for that was 50 million so the majority of his money is from his uh band yeah there's no way
20:26
that this list can delve into everything that he's involved with yeah yeah and to Bono's credit you talk about another
20:32
personality that rubs some people the wrong way because he's so vocal he said it so himself that he paraphrasing the
20:39
quote he said that yes I can get into doors as a celebrity that other people get can't get into and by all means I'm
20:44
going to do that speak my voice what he feels is a good thing or good things that he's trying to fight for so he
20:50
recognizes yes my celebrity gets me at the doors other people's can't and should we fault him for that I don't know well yeah you take what you like
20:57
from him and the music that he provides I mean I I've seen his shows maybe 10 times or whatever I mean I'd be one of
21:03
the people buying tickets to see his shows some of the best concors I've ever been to and some of the best memories I
21:09
have in life is listening to their music and going to their shows um including
21:14
with my own children can't faom I bet he's one of the often the writers in the
21:20
band are the ones that get paid the most and I would suspect lyrically probably he has probably more writing credits
21:27
than the B members oh probably I know the name more than I know the person uh
21:33
number 21 Kylie Jenner uh net worth of about $700 million making money for
21:41
being known is how I think of it but apparently she's a TV personality entrepreneur what was the show that the
21:48
Jenners Keeping Up with the Kardashians or something you got to keep up with them which I obviously haven't I've got
21:54
a lot of shows to watch cuz I don't know anything about them really I only know course Kim yeah Kim's body broke the
22:01
internet as the joke or the or apparently or whatever with that picture the majority of her money comes from
22:08
Kylie Cosmetics so she's delved into a cosmetic line good for her that's
22:14
awesome yeah yeah yeah she produced all the yeah she slapped her name on it yeah
22:20
and that's how it works yeah she's not the lab she's in the lab with a code on hey I think we just try mixing this um
22:27
this chemical here and yeah right yeah all right number 20 Tiger Woods still making the money at
22:33
800 million so we're talking about sports people this is surprise to me
22:38
right number 19 Jay yeah number 19 Jim Davis a throwback isn't it $800
22:47
million yeah want to explain to the audience who might not know who this is just by the name only I'm a surprised
22:54
he's still alive and B that it's worth what it is go
22:59
ahead yeah a are we confirmed that he's still alive is that a I don't think you
23:05
can be on this list and be dead because I'm sure the people like Alas and stuff should be on here or Michael Jackson but maybe I'm wrong let me just see if he's
23:11
still alive Jim Davis Davies or Davis uh Jim Davis right's still alive 75 years
23:18
old that's it oh how young was he when when Garfield blew up oh I just let the
23:24
cat out of the bag yeah Garfield could you imagine that
23:34
comic strip has made him an $800 million worth that's crazy nobody in my
23:43
house talks about buys anything influ like no influence like yeah we talked
23:48
about South Park and we talked about Simpsons but there's no consumption of
23:54
Garfield in my home and I haven't I haven't read A Garfield comic in decades so how is this happening back in the day so he he was probably a
24:01
genius of marketing himself because I had a Garfield lunchbox Garfield's huge
24:08
you had the cartoon movie with Bill Murray yeah Garfield was massive but the
24:14
fact that that has allowed him to have a net worth of $800 million this many
24:20
years later he's worth more than Bono it's unbelievable yeah see this is
24:26
what's interesting about these lists is you think of the impact that people have doesn't always equate to a worth there's
24:34
not one person on Earth who doesn't know who Bano is pretty much yeah you know or hasn't heard their music isn't
24:41
influenced you know has been influenced positively or negatively or whatever or
24:47
felt the influence of you to in their life Garfield there such a niche group of people that care about Garfield even
24:55
at the height of it all I don't get it I'm not saying he's not deserving I'm just legit surprised good for him if the
25:01
peanuts dude was still alive Charles am Schultz yeah yeah I wonder what his estate is worth something we can quickly
25:07
Google here you know that's somebody like to me the Peanuts Gang and and you
25:13
know Snoopy well I love those yeah they got to have a bigger impact long term
25:19
than Garfield the net worth of the Charles M schults net worth if he were still alive but I guess whoever owns 500
25:27
million so not as much as yeah not as much as Garfield wow wow by a large
25:33
margin you know 300 remember 300 Millions is a lot of years counting
25:39
that's a lot of difference you know so there must have been he he did something business-wise you know like you think of
25:45
the peanuts you think of their Christmas and their Halloween special and yeah everybody loves the peanuts Snoopy you
25:53
know what I mean yeah there seems to be more hat more hatred for Garfield than anything else way more I hate Mondays oh
26:00
classic I love lasagna I mean I hate my my Dopey dog
26:08
you know I'm I'm competition for my owner's affections that I pretend that I don't want CU I'm a cap but I really do
26:13
want it yeah anyway fascinating this is a fascinating number
26:19
19 all right continue with the literary world so to speak novelist James Patterson he's worth 800 million and few
26:26
authors have had as many successful books as Patterson owed primarily to the
26:32
books fastpac plots and a publishing schedule that sees multiple books
26:38
released every year come on I don't recognize the name and I don't see a book on this list so what books does he
26:45
write I think he did like the one I think Along Came a Spider was a movie so
26:50
he he's like a spy Thriller crime True Crime uh True Crime but crime you got to
26:56
Google that Ryan I got to get a name yeah long came spider was a movie Alex
27:02
Cross was a movie okay Alex Cross yeah what's insane is just again I think of a
27:07
novelist we would go to like Stephen King and I don't think Stephen King's in the top 30 yeah but you could almost
27:12
argue maybe a James Patterson novel um probably gets into a lot of bored Housewives hands interesting again a
27:19
name that doesn't jump out at me at all no I knew the name well that's why I was able to say long came of spider I don't
27:24
know why I do that but that's as much as I know but I didn't realize he had that much many books and I didn't realize he
27:30
was worth that much that's crazy all right Jason you want to talk about the greatest the great the greatest singer
27:35
in the world and possibly the greatest Canadian of all time Seline Deion coming in cracking the
27:44
top 20 at number 17 $800 million I had no idea it was that much
27:51
come on the Vegas run I guess so probably helped a lot it helped but it I
27:58
don't think it would have given her 400 million if you were to tell me she was worth 200 or 150 million I would have been like that's respectable that's
28:03
reasonable you know what I mean I would have been like oh yeah she's had a couple big hits she must have had a good
28:09
manager yeah she must have had some sort of father figure that looked out for [Laughter]
28:16
her someone that can show her the ropes oh yeah he couldn't wait till she was
28:22
18 well I'm reading here she had nine French language albums before the age of
28:27
18 sure yeah she's big Quebec yeah yeah My Heart Will Go On Right Titanic you
28:34
know connected to James Cameron yeah that massive movie that was a massive song that really skyrocketed her more so
28:42
than the trajectory was already going so yeah I would say so I was wonder how much of that 800 million is connected to
28:49
the Titanic success I think a lot all right talk about Polar Opposites at
28:54
number 16 to slon we've got Dr he's an American rapper entrepreneur of
29:01
course and producer who has a mass a net worth of around 820 million he rolls in
29:06
prominence during the early days of the West Coast hip-hop scene Dr Trey was an integral part of the influential group NWA did you ever see that movie uh St
29:13
Compton no I didn't it's not bad it was interesting to watch Ice Cube son play Ice Cube which was a stroke of Genius
29:20
casting he played it very well it's almost what youd expect even though I didn't really know the history of NWA
29:26
per se it was still I felt like in many ways maybe I didn't know more than I thought I did cuz we grew up in that time but see some of these uh music
29:35
biographies that I've come out recently I haven't watched because I feel like I know enough that
29:41
there's not going to be anything Earth shattering yeah there really wasn't yeah yeah his or Bohemian rap city or the
29:49
most recent one the El John one I just don't think I'm going to watch it and and Come Away with
29:55
any increased appreciation and maybe even a touch less
30:01
because I know that Hollywood's going to manipulate the story a little bit so
30:07
that's why I've never kind of jumped on that bandwagon but a lot of his money though going back to Dr Dre though a lot
30:13
of his money is from the uh his Beats beats earning roughly 500 million with
30:19
Apple so there you go yeah he'd only be worth 320 million without that helping
30:24
find Eminem has helped yeah yeah yeah he's uh very influential all right this
30:30
one is shocking to me yes and no because of made relativity but yeah go ahead
30:35
yeah well Madonna number 15 850 mil like I'm not saying that she shouldn't be way
30:41
up on the list but they'd be the top 30 at 850 she hasn't been relevant in 15 years
30:48
it must be her albums must just still sell great as his
30:54
packages I don't know if you were to go Madonna Bono right I would assumed Bono
31:00
would have been worth more just cuz he's more active or more relevant today even still yeah this is a crazy amount of
31:07
money and Madonna's got I feel bad I know a woman unfortunately today's well
31:13
in every culture they it's hard for a woman to age I get it you know you see
31:18
these upand comers like ara Grande or U Miley Cyrus and they're young and beautiful and they're singing and poor
31:24
Madonna is like oh now I'm the old lady yeah like now you are and they have a hard time with that to pass the torch
31:31
and I don't know if you've seen Madonna recently yes it's sad yeah I mean I I don't mind
31:38
a little bit of work here and there if it's if it just makes you whatever but when it makes you when it get to the unrecognizable stage it's like now you
31:45
don't look like Madonna anymore I don't know what we're doing here something came across my news feeds and I saw her
31:51
in the bathtub or whatever yeah that's what I'm talking about that that one particular scene or or picture and I
31:56
looked at it I literally did not know who it was yeah well she almost looks like Miley Cyrus now it's weird I it's
32:04
probably a picture of her she's 62 now yeah well I mean she was yeah I know 40
32:10
years ago she was huge right he look I'm not going to lie to you when I was a teenager she was sexy as hell as they
32:16
say she's a beautiful woman and there's nothing wrong with aging it's just part of life but it's just sad to see people just like it's okay to age and now you
32:23
like I don't think anyone would be saying oh Madonna's got wrinkles well maybe they would but they wouldn't be saying she looks like an alien I know
32:29
any yeah one I'm surprised she's still up at 50 number 15 right a lot all right we
32:37
wish you all the best Madonna and I guess she's bought herself another 30 years with that face all right 14 I've
32:43
never heard of this person have you this is crazy this is crazy so this individual is worth 850 million let me
32:50
give you a little bit of a how would I give you the resume first you tell me if you can guess the names the name of this
32:56
individual dear listener so this person is an American musician and entrepreneur
33:01
with an estimated worth of 850 million he is primarily known for his incredibly successful recording career with this
33:08
band I won't say who a group that has sold over 75 million records worldwide like Earth shattering it's not
33:15
earth shattering but it's a good number yeah uh it's not 300 million like
33:20
Enrique what's his name Julio Angus I gu I remember it know anyways but much of
33:28
this individual's Fortune came from the creation and eventual sale of the record label A&M records okay so there you go
33:36
that that's where he made his money that's where he made his money that's why I saying the 75 million records is not what made this person his money the
33:43
sale generated hundreds of millions of dollars for drum roll please Herb
33:50
Alpert there you go and he was in the band Herb Albert and the Tiana brass the
33:56
fact that this band who I've never heard heard of before has 75 million copies sold what does that tell you that's
34:02
crazy the whole world of Music existing that I yeah yeah that's true and this individual is 85
34:08
today there you go so he did a good job he he made a record label and sold it yeah that's about it all right so
34:16
another person in the musician P didy coming in at lucky number 13 $885
34:22
million not too shabby no not bad at all what's interesting about him him is I
34:29
know him because of his music not that his music has really any interest for me
34:35
but I does where I know him from but he's making his money not off his music I don't know is anybody buying his music
34:41
I don't know I I couldn't name you any of his songs I don't know I don't know any of his songs yeah this that one
34:47
where he kind of combined uh the police whatever that was the police yeah every breath he take that right that's really
34:53
the only introduction and really the only song I know of him and he married JLo didn't he was he married to JLo at
35:00
some point or am I mixing him up yeah no I don't think so oh but any rate it his
35:05
clothing brand it's his now he's got like vodka he's got his record label Bad
35:11
Boy Entertainment which had the Notorious BIG big Jason he doesn't go by big goes B yeah respect the periods
35:19
between the letters please big okay so you know it's interesting how he is
35:26
making so much money and most people probably know of him through one or two
35:31
songs but that's not where he's making his money and the fact that he's making you the 885 million off of these other
35:39
things is just clothing in vodka man type your name on that label and make
35:44
sure it's a good product and there you go yeah all right we're nearing the billion but we're not there yet at
35:50
number 12 might have heard of this comedian his name is Jerry Seinfeld he keeps selling the rights to Seinfeld uh
35:58
the show the sitcom and he sold it to syndication for 500 million about 15 odd years ago 20 years ago and then he
36:05
resold it I believe it's going to Netflix Oh I think it's Netflix I think one of those streaming services for
36:12
another like astronomical amount so yeah he's doing okay yeah he's doing good and
36:17
he's funny what I like about Jerry there's no real I mean we all have skeletons per se he's made a couple
36:23
little whatever here and there in his life but nothing you know he just does comedy seems like a nice guy he's pretty
36:28
smart I enjoy him Ruben was here he would recommend his comedians in car getting coffee um stuff he does on
36:34
Netflix it's quite good it's like an interview show with certain you know and it's actually quite good you get to see
36:39
more of a uh relaxed conversation it's funny what how they just talk it's you can see what makes a comedian to
36:46
comedian when their everyday conversation is funnier than the average movie that's made if that makes sense
36:51
yeah I always found him interesting I I did not like him being interviewed I
36:57
didn't find him funny as a person being interviewed I found like he struggled in
37:02
that I think he likes to control the conversation yeah yeah yeah but like on the TV show you know you laugh at his
37:09
character and his standups it's okay for me it's not like so not everybody's cup
37:14
of tea no no but he's not he seems like a decent dude though for the most part yeah yeah I don't think he's a jerk but
37:21
he's yeah he's he's comfortable he's been smart with his decisions yeah I
37:26
think he has yeah another author coming ining billion JK
37:34
Rowling obviously uh the author of the Harry Potter series turned into movies
37:40
and that's been her big break you know she is a very attractive woman if you look at her like I know she's older now
37:46
but she like I think she's still single I don't think she's married or anything like she's a attractive wealthy woman
37:52
what a get if you're a single guy out there and you can win her over yeah I mean H she's made a little
37:58
bit of oh I'm sure she's made a few headlines recently yeah interesting yeah
38:03
interesting some of her yeah I won't say what they are if you want to know what her controversial statements are go
38:09
ahead and just Google JK JK Twitter and you'll see some of the
38:14
statements she's made about the certain communities and we'll leave at that but uh interesting that this goes for any
38:20
celebrity uh when you especially have let say have a lot to lose we all have things to lose if we say even me with my
38:25
my job you know there's things I don't say and not that I want to say things but I mean I'm in the podcast I have a
38:31
podcast and even I I'm careful that I don't say anything that's derogatory hateful racist all those things and I
38:38
don't want to but I'm careful that I just inadvertently say something that's harmful because I could you know lose my
38:44
job I work in the government right and so it's just interesting with celebrities their employer so to speak
38:49
could be you know a music company record company movie company or just the public right that's your customer some things
38:56
you just don't have to say I always find it I always find it interesting when people say things like you didn't have
39:01
to say that JK you don't have to say it yeah whatever we're talking about you can think it you can feel it yeah the
39:08
need to to say it just for the sake of saying it and I'm not sure what yeah I
39:13
don't really know I I I've seen things and people get upset I'll tell you I'll tell you right now while let's edit it
39:18
it's amazing what those books have done for her and everyone else yeah a billion dollar to be an author and to make a billion dollars off of writing books
39:25
that's unbelievable absolutely all right another R&B rapper
39:31
Jay-Z who of course has the lovely wife of Beyonce he's an American rapper
39:36
entrepreneur of course music mogul with an estimated worth of $1 billion I don't
39:42
know how this happened well Jay it was through a series of smart business decisions Jay-Z has managed to retain
39:48
rights to his music that's a big one yeah a major factor in his continually growing net worth in 2008 he remarried
39:54
of course singer Beyonce and the couple combined well this tells you what she's worth is 1.4 billion so she's only worth only
40:01
$400 million so he co-founded the record label Rocka fell records what's interesting is they don't put in here in
40:08
this other write up he's also created a uh a sport agent group of people uh what
40:13
do you call those people who you know the Jerry Maguire right they have agents oh okay like a sports agency I guess
40:20
Sports yeah yeah so he's hiring or you know signing athletes to his oh very
40:26
cool that's Rec yeah a couple years okay how this guy tricked his way into the
40:32
top 10 yeah this is got to be the biggest illusion of them all David
40:38
Copperfield number nine yeah at a billion dollars yeah he's walked through
40:44
the Great Wall CH he walked through the Great Wall of China have you seen that
40:49
no he could disappear for the rest of my life and his life and I would not even
40:55
know who's more an knowing Dave field or David bla they're both kind of pompous
41:01
yeah but yeah I'm surprised too again if you were to tell me David Copperfield was worth 100 million be like oh yeah
41:07
magician but no he's worth a billion he owns he owns a collection of rare Magic
41:13
memorabilia estimated to be as much as $500 million in magic stuff is there
41:21
really that much money in Magic memorabilia that's a weird thing what
41:27
does he have gandal staff look at this deck of cards pen teller used to use
41:33
these I don't know who cares about this is like an area that I'm obviously
41:38
extremely ignorant in because I can't imagine that there's memorabilia of $500
41:45
million that he has there's obviously others that he just owns that's worth
41:50
$500 million yeah it's insane all right number eight this makes sense I mean
41:57
more more sense than David coer field yeah well when you're a member and songwriter musician for the biggest band
42:03
to ever live The Beatles Paul McCarney successful with the Beatles and successful as a soul artist
42:11
he's the half of the songwriting Duo him and John lennin they broke up in 1970
42:17
but even 50 years since that breakup he continues to top the charts and hit albums worldwide tours it's Paul
42:24
McCarney $1.2 billion even after the divorce he's still worth that much no
42:29
wonder he's smiling oh yeah $1.2 billion
42:34
for playing music I still want to do an episode on the 10 greatest or what or
42:40
the greatest clues or indications that Paul McCartney the original has died and this is the replacement dude it's pretty
42:48
strong it is it's fun it's pretty strong it would be at the end of the day if it's true or not I always say conspiracy
42:54
theories true or not they're just fun go down the rabbit hole it's all it is especially when it's not easily debunked
43:01
yeah you can't yeah okay so here's some that needs no introduction but doubles
43:09
the netk almost doubles the network yes that's a big jump so we got number eight 1.2 billion and then number seven like
43:15
there's no there's no it's crazy that there's no one in between eight and seven this would be yeah like a billion
43:22
dollars later we have this individual who is Michael Jordan yeah 2.2 2 billion
43:28
2.2 billion that's a lot surprise not surprise cuz that's a lot of money I
43:33
know it's endorsements the shoes the shoes alone I mean well that's the where so this is celebrities so the reason
43:40
they put them in here in this list is not because of his career as a basketball player he only made 94
43:47
million his whole out of salaries right that's interesting so so today he's more
43:53
of a celebrity than a than a an athlete obviously so he's made 1.6 billion in
44:00
endorsements yep mostly from Nike we should just goes to show you how much Nike's worth I mean they give out shoes
44:06
like they're candy yeah I wish they did when I was a kid in
44:12
1990 two or one okay I bought a pair of Shute let me let me just do the math
44:18
here cuz this back in the day even when we were teenager stage Nikes were the thing right I remember buying my first
44:25
Nike SS Pegasus so in 1991 I bought a pair of shoes for
44:31
$250 that's the equivalent of $413 today wow yeah I bought it with my
44:38
own money paper well no back then I was a dishwasher had a pizza joint and I bought a pair of shoes for $200 $250 and
44:45
even of course $413 today money gives you you know gives you what you know how much money I was droing on shoes but boy
44:52
it was worth it I wore those things like as long as I could I just I valued them so much you can see why people been
44:57
mugged for shoes and what what sir what were they ah they were like they were Nike errs but they were kind of like a
45:03
cloth material on the outside and like a almost like a preppy dress Runner shoe
45:09
so more casual yeah it was a casual but errors all the same but they weren't you wouldn't wear them on the court but they
45:15
were still sport-like yeah so yeah my first I bought with my paper money were
45:21
um I I believe it was the first year Air Pegasus came out I remember those I
45:27
remember those yeah had a little window yeah remember the cheap knockoff shoes
45:32
that people would buy with the air bubbles they' pop the the air thing would pop and so they'd walk around the
45:39
people the the poor kids they'd walk around their air their
45:45
shoes they squish sounds and stuff and water get into them they those air pegas
45:50
were well over $100 I'm sure you you buy them today for the same price yeah that's weird well we used to buy
45:57
,000 back it's weird how certain things still sound expensive but it's $100 then
46:04
it's still $100 now anyway going back to Jordan so he made uh 1.6 billion in
46:10
endorsements from Nike and Gatorade the other is just Investments including uh
46:16
into the Charlotte Hornets he sold a 20% stake in the team to a group of
46:22
investors for $1.5 billion crazy good for him and by the way that last dance I
46:27
don't know if you made anything off that but what a great documentary that was on Netflix right all right so you've got
46:33
number you just number six have you looked at this yet yeah do you know who this individual
46:41
is no okay this is crazy Jamie girtz I don't didn't even know if it's a boy or girl but is a well I should I didn't
46:47
know if it was a male or female nothing that matters I know but I just I don't know the name or person at all but Jamie G is an actress there you go
46:54
philanthropist and sports team owner who is worth around three
47:00
billion I don't know who this person is I'm in fact I'm just going to quickly just very quickly just going to Google
47:06
what she looks like she better be hot or El come on uh oh I've seen her before
47:12
what her she's taking her husband's money and using it to do these things
47:18
I've seen her before she's 55 she's 10 years older than me she was born on my birthday or our birthday is October 28th
47:26
HH it's your birthday that's right uh she was on ER for a while okay she was
47:32
on This Is Us briefly I watched that I was trying to see the other TV shows that I might have seen her on oh she did
47:38
an episode of Seinfeld there you go Family Ties Facts of Life but she's worth $3
47:44
billion it's her husband's money though not her she's spending her husband's
47:50
money oh she's pretty the bulk of her worth yet came to her marriage to billionaire Tony wrestler the co-founder
47:56
of Aries man man agement gir and wrestler have ownership Stakes Atlanta Hawks Milwaukee Brewers while still an
48:01
actor G is also an avid donor there you go to a number of charitable causes often topping lists of top celebrity
48:07
donors so good for her there you go yeah interesting so coming in at number five
48:12
coming in strong at number five this is probably the biggest celebrity well the
48:18
whole world knows this name the whole the whole world is very well aware of who this person is the most recognizable
48:24
celebrity on this list Donald J Trump coming in at$ 33.1 billion dollar
48:32
if indeed that is the amount he's worth that's where he lands yes yeah some people say that his net
48:39
worth has fluctuated over the years which kind of well so is mine no I know
48:45
but but which kind of show that this might be fairly legitimate number so
48:50
yeah obviously he he's known for being the president of the United States um
48:57
TV shows which I admit I enjoyed Becky and I we watched The Apprentice as a TV
49:03
personality the way he was on TV it was a very tronan and like this isn't get
49:09
political like there's no I had no investment and him firing celebrities or other people and the way he was it was I
49:16
how should I say this it was a show yeah like he was yeah he was ridiculous yeah
49:21
all I will say is that he was his character on the TV show was ridiculous okay and all I'm going to say is this
49:28
it's just I felt like a lot of that was try just seemed to carry over so I was like oh that's just maybe who he is but
49:34
it was fun to watch on a reality show but I guess people might not have enjoyed it like it's he's divisive topic
49:39
I don't want to I enjoyed I enjoyed him as he's entertaining and he was entertaining as a president for and I
49:47
guess in a weird way I'm not emotionally involved there either because I'm Canadian so I'm not trying to be little what anyone may or may have felt I'm
49:53
just saying it was entertaining and I guess his time I guess is running short as the time of this recording January
49:59
20th isn't that the exit date yeah but he's got a lot of fight in him left he's not going away without a fight the
50:05
reality show continues yeah we shall see we it's like it's like a
50:11
cliffhanger we've done a couple Donald Trump episodes it be interesting to do another one I'll figure out a topic we could do um he's he's a very interesting
50:18
I know polarizing character a lot of celebrities are polarizing to be honest it's not he's not a yeah and he he's
50:23
been in the public eye for since I was a child right you know he's been around he's also you know written books
50:31
apparently most people suggest it's ghost writers with his name on it you know and his business dealings around
50:37
the world whether it's uh golf courses or real estate and all the rest so yeah
50:43
there's one thing I will agree with him and I'll make this known his daughter is hot I
50:50
agree banka oh she's gorgeous I I I agree with Donald I she's a
50:59
I don't cond I don't condone that kind of love between a father and daughter but I agree she's a good-look woman okay
51:05
number four speaking of yeah big personalities who are also in their own way divisive kany West net worth of 3.2
51:13
billion I guess you can't be worth as much money and popularity without being divisive you're going to divice you're going to divide people I mean I'm
51:19
divisive we're all divisive I just don't have an audience you know um right I think that's the key depending on the
51:25
circle of influence so during his career to date Cony West has earned only around 400 million
51:32
during his career from his music but he became a billionaire officially just this year Jason in 2020 thanks to the
51:38
explosive success of his Yeezy clothing brand in 2019 Yeezy generated 1.5
51:46
billion in Revenue earning him 154 million in payment but in 2020 even with
51:52
the co crisis the brand is on Pace to generate 1.7 billion and so between 2020 and 2026 Kanye is projected to
51:59
personally earn another 2.2 billion in royalties off Yeezy alone it's
52:05
unbelievable that clothing can make you that much money I know I I mean we'll wear it I guess that's the market the
52:12
thing is it's not cheap they that many people are buying Yeezy stuff yeah they're not cheap clothing and I don't
52:18
know if I've ever seen anybody in a Yeezy no it can't be easy or no is it
52:24
affordable clothing maybe it is maybe that's a supply demand is it a lot for cheap or is it not a lot for not cheap
52:31
or is it just a lot of rich people buy or like cuz there's not a lot of rich people like despite this list compared
52:37
to the masses like so you kind of like how do you get rich off like that kind of rich off an of a clothing brand is it
52:43
I guess we can Google really quickly Yeezy yeah he owns 100% of Yeezy that's the thing right that's the big
52:49
difference so easy clothing prices so crew neck sweaters and hoodies retail at 370 oversized t-shirts of Premium
52:57
Fabrics will grow for 200 and fake shirling are priced between 600 and 700
53:02
the pants start at 250 and go as high as 450 so it's middle middle class rich is
53:08
kind of like I could afford it if I wanted to but I'm not buying a pair of
53:14
pants every every month if that makes sense I could buy Yeezy outfit and I wouldn't be homeless yeah but would you look good in
53:20
it no no no no I'm looking at the clothing right here and it's like no
53:25
that's not my style uh oh good for him what's interesting I believe I could be
53:30
wrong maybe a hoodie maybe a hoodie probably a hoodie I think JayZ found him is Kanye okay is he mentally health is
53:38
like no yeah no he's he's complicated I don't not sure how much you know he
53:44
could probably do himself some favors what what an interesting I would love to
53:49
be a fly on the wall during a conversation between him and Kim when they don't think anyone's listening wow
53:54
they've had this last year they had some kind of even online stuff that was
54:00
concerning where they're like we're coming to get you you know I'll meet you at the house uh yeah interesting yeah
54:07
any I don't know enough about him other than he's done well for himself and despite being
54:14
controversial and polarizing he seems to find a way to come out on top so sure
54:21
now another person as it's interesting how we kind of go through this list last
54:26
a little bit how controversial some of these people become polarizing right Oprah Winfrey number three just edging
54:33
out Kanye at 3.5 billion so yeah any rate Oprah we all know who she is we all
54:40
understand her power in Celebrity she kind of mucked up that
54:46
Michael Jackson thing though in what way well you know the Michael Jackson State I think they won successfully uh in a
54:53
civil suit or whatever against the accusers that there wasn't and then Oprah interviewed the well if
55:00
they're victims I I I'm sorry that they're victims this isn't taking you know this is She interviewed those those
55:06
boys that made the move yeah I think treating it such as Like This is Gospel truth type interview I didn't watch it
55:11
because it was too gross I found the whole thing gross I don't know why um I
55:16
gross whether he's yeah it's gross whether that's the thing it's gross if he's guilty and it's gross if he's
55:22
innocent I think he's in the middle quite frankly I think yeah he was in the
55:28
middle yeah I don't know I don't know I don't know you got people like mcau Caan
55:34
who's alive and well and who was very aware of those times and he has said like nothing happened is it weird to
55:40
sleep over at an adult yes but nothing sexual happened I don't know unless he's lying to yeah see this is this is the
55:47
world of Hollywood right there's so many so many Dark Secrets especially with
55:53
children I know as I get older my interest and all those kind of I just
55:59
don't want to know anymore I sometimes I want to pretend none of this really happens that nobody wants to hurt other
56:05
people I know it's happening right now H it's so again I I hope Michael never
56:11
hurt anybody cuz I think he was very talented with the Oprah thing I think what happened was she she the interview
56:16
got pulled off HBO and stuff and things like that so it was a little bit of egg on her face but she survived she's still $ three and half billion dollars Rich so
56:24
but you also wonder is she jumping on the the controversial sure oh sure yeah she got an exclusive with these guys
56:30
right so yeah that's about it she didn't do anything wrong but she may have just maybe jumped in a little bit too quickly
56:36
without yeah all right number two this is crazy surprise not surpris
56:43
these next two names they kind of go hand inand quite frankly I don't want to spoil number one but number two Steven Spielberg net worth of 3.7 billion he it
56:50
shows you how powerful Hollywood is number one he's a director screenwriter producer known essentially for you know
56:56
creating the Hollywood Blockbuster you name the franchise The Goonies Gremlin back to the future he produced those
57:02
things right and then he created uh direct Indiana Jones ET Jurassic Park
57:07
Jaws it's just but I've said this before actually go check a little plug if you're listen to this episode you
57:13
haven't listened to my coverage of Step Spielberg check it out and I won't say much more about it because I'll leave it
57:18
at that but I have mixed feelings on Steven I recognize his obviously you'd be an idiot to rec not recognize what
57:25
he's done for Hollywood and his success in that that's his job and he's the best
57:31
at it everyone knows the name of director Steven Spielberg he's actually just one of my least favorite directors
57:36
I just find as far as movies makes yeah the movies he makes I just find very
57:42
depressing uh the on Indiana Jones might be they're the best they're because they're the most fun yeah yeah is he
57:49
accomplished is he talented yes but again talent doesn't always equal enjoyment and I just find myself
57:56
not enjoying his films they're just dark films in some weird ways but nothing
58:01
wrong with the dark film but I just yeah I'll leave it at that and go check out that episode you'll hear more of my thoughts on that if you want um it's a
58:07
good episode by the way Stephens bber okay but yeah 3.7 billion and not too shabby now we're talking about a jump
58:13
here Jason you're number one so we go for three points amazing jump yeah go ahead yeah
58:18
number one oh yeah yeah going from 3.7 billion at number two and then coming in
58:23
strong at number one is George lupus this actually makes me very happy I I'll
58:30
tell 6.5 billion there somebody who can't write a script he can't write he can't
58:38
direct he he can't write dialogue he can't write dialogue yeah he can't he can't write dialogue he's a Visionary
58:46
right he's he creates a universe he created a universe that people love he
58:52
sold at the time he sold Star Wars the Fran to Disney in 2012 for $4 billion
58:58
this cemented his legacy as the most successful filmmaker of all time financially oh yeah I mean outside Star
59:06
Wars okay so he was involved in Indiana Jones yeah he created he actually created Indiana Jones that was his
59:11
creation and it was named after his dog just like it was in the movie Steven directed that directed it George
59:17
produced it so it was kind of like yeah it was a George Steven film that's why maybe that's why I like Indian so much
59:22
cuz I think George I actually enjoy his stories his universes right when you have a good director which stepen is
59:29
he's a good director but you have George's Vision through Steven's Direction then you have thean Jones Trilogy which is fantastic cuz I almost
59:35
wish they collaborated more he's produced movies like body heat Labyrinth Willow but yeah it's interesting he's
59:41
done so little in many ways to the amount that he's worth my understanding is is when Star Wars was made he knew
59:49
that it was a risk and the studio thought it was a risk I think he what happened was is he asked for like the
59:55
merchandise steel or something I think he got full merchandising rights or something he's like look you guys can
1:00:00
take the risk of the film maybe or something like that and I'll take the merchandising receipt or something to
1:00:06
that effect but anyways the toys made him the money so it's all things Star Wars he gets pocketed for now with the
1:00:13
New Deal Disney I don't think that's the case anymore but I don't think he's going to have enough lifetime left to spend $6 and half billion dollars no and
1:00:20
a lot of Star Wars fans despite his own prequel kind of mess are upset that Disney took over the
1:00:27
franchise and funny enough there's it's so funny the prequels divided fans and Disney's acquisition divided more fans
1:00:34
it's a weird unfortunately the Star Wars legacy has been divided and divided and divided amongst different camps and I
1:00:41
think there's a lot of Star Wars fans would love to have flaws and a or or warts and all would love to have George
1:00:47
back for another Star Wars storyline well what he did in the number four but
1:00:53
Star Wars the original the combination of of the set the combination of the
1:00:59
story and the idea was his that was him as it gets bigger and bigger you get
1:01:06
other people influencing the direction influenc the look in influencing the decision making but originally speaking
1:01:13
though that first Star Wars yeah what a game changer absolutely for him and for
1:01:19
Hollywood many imitators very few have done what he's done obviously look there's no one who's imitated them
1:01:25
that's anywhere on the list so yeah not even close yeah all right well that is our top 30 most successful net worth
1:01:33
financially celebrities in the world yeah let's nail down who we're going to pick and or or let's nail down the
1:01:40
requirement as to why we pick we're picking because there's a couple people I don't really know so if you don't know
1:01:45
them you can't say good or bad so that's fine so at the end of the day there's a couple like I don't know enough about Warren Buffett to say or Herb Albert or
1:01:53
Jamie yeah so I don't know enough about them so they could be the worst but I think like we said at the beginning of
1:01:59
the episode Jay that whoever we feel you know what they've contrib like let's use
1:02:04
George Lucas and Steven that's easy they've they make sense they are what they are despite what you think of the product they've given they've influenced
1:02:10
movies and merchandise and rides and Disney bought this like they are who
1:02:16
they are because they're huge and I get it sense Oprah win she makes sense even Kanye makes sense but so I'm not trying
1:02:24
to give away my answer here but I'm just saying or say like Paul McCartney makes sense like yeah he is worth what I get
1:02:29
it I guess for me it's going to be a combination of what they provided maybe
1:02:35
me personally it's all yeah it's very subjetive subjective yeah you might be a huge David Copperfield fan so he could
1:02:41
be worth 10 billion to you you know what I mean so it doesn't matter I guess I'm going to do it as why is this person on
1:02:46
the list and how come they're worth so much they've done nothing for me I don't get it that's for me the worst pick
1:02:52
that's kind of how I'm looking at it okay you want to go through the names or do you just have a pick yeah number number 30 Simon I'm just go backwards so
1:02:59
starting with number 30 you don't have to say the names just say okay just say the name without saying the number okay yeah that's what I'm saying Simon Matt
1:03:06
graining Julio glacius Jimmy Buffett D Parton Howard Stern Matt Stone James
1:03:14
Cameron Bono Kylie Jenner Tiger Woods
1:03:19
Jim Davis slen Dion Oh Jus yeah James Patterson the James Patterson slen Deion
1:03:26
Dr Dre Madonna Herb Albert P Diddy Jerry Seinfeld JK
1:03:35
Rowling Jay-Z David Copperfield Paul McCartney Michael Jordan Jamie gerts
1:03:43
Donald J Trump con West Oprah Stephen Spielberg
1:03:51
and George Lucas all right I'll go first because you're the guest I let you uh I think we might be I don't know I was
1:03:57
shouldn't say it so my It's a combination of huh and that much money for what for me I think I knew this
1:04:03
before I even started the list Kylie Jenner number 21 I don't get why she's
1:04:08
worth 700 million we talked about does she really work in the lab how much input does she put in there Cosmetics
1:04:14
I'm sure she could wear Dollar Store cosmetics and she'd probably look pretty you know what I mean like what are we doing here and she still makes 700
1:04:21
million yeah that's what I mean like she could put her name on anything she's an attractive woman she's a TV personality
1:04:27
because of the Kardashian family and I don't know if that's any of that's talent I think it's lucky I think she's
1:04:32
lucky and good for her for being lucky some people are unlucky you know some people are born paralyzed from the ways
1:04:38
down so she was born with looks opportunity she got a slap her name on a lipstick and here she is worth $700
1:04:44
million I even Jim Davis he created something I think I think the Garfield
1:04:49
cartoon stupid but at least it's a creation that lasted for decades and spawn movies and what have you like
1:04:55
something from that but her $700 Million worth is it's like being born into uh TV royalty that's why she's worth what
1:05:02
she's worth she she's famous for being famous yes and I I I find no value in that I'm torn between couple who's the
1:05:10
two or who's the two that's fine I'm gon to take away Jamie gerz because I don't think that's really one that should be
1:05:15
in here she's using her husband's money but at least she's done some acting and stuff that's where I like I understand
1:05:21
but at least she's done something she's actually legitimately you know memorized meor a script and she's been to movies
1:05:27
and TVs her worth his worth is huge cuz of what she married into but over Kylie
1:05:32
at least she's done some sort of talent yeah I also argue with Jamie over Kylie too is at least jimie had to work in
1:05:38
order to get married to to a rich guy Kylie literally was you know got plopped into a family biologically yeah I'm kind
1:05:46
of just eliminating her in my list because I'm not sure you know how much
1:05:51
her three billion is because of her any rate but I also thought the girl girl from Seinfeld I forget her name jul dfus
1:05:59
yeah I thought she was very rich her dad I think she's in the 500 million so she's under the six yeah okay but yeah
1:06:06
she s inherited billions from her father yeah from her father okay so here we go so my two is Copperfield Yeah yeah I
1:06:14
figured yeah worth a worth a billion his collection his stamp collection is huge
1:06:21
come on he's he's pulling the wool over eyes on that one I just he's a cheap trick that one's a
1:06:29
struggle for me but I would have to go with the I think at the end of the day you're right Kylie Jenner yeah pish for
1:06:36
being famous at least David produced a product again he produced a product yeah he does yeah and it's in an area that
1:06:43
I'm not as familiar with I mean I remember growing up you know he had always have those tv specials that everybody would tune in to watch you
1:06:48
know once or they're just R random people from the crowd participating in the tricks you know yeah yeah that's
1:06:55
right none of them were plants they're all no no no one had uh bugs in their ear yeah
1:07:02
yeah but Kylie famous for being famous y maybe I don't know enough about what she
1:07:08
does day in and day out yeah maybe she's an incredible business meeting person you know what I mean she's a dragon in the
1:07:14
in the office room but like it says here though she has secured endorsement deals
1:07:20
sure yeah so it's the endorsement deals that gave her the seed money to to help
1:07:26
prop up probably her cosmetic line sure and that's just being famous for being
1:07:31
famous at least with like somebody like Jordan he accomplished stuff on the basketball court to give him clout to
1:07:38
make an endorsement deal with Nike or Gatorade worth something she just put her face on camera yeah not really doing
1:07:47
anything to deserve endorsement deals even Tiger Woods right oh yeah endorsement deals based on Talent
1:07:54
success his talent so yeah I I have to agree Kylie Jenner all right well this
1:08:00
has been an absolute pleasure congratulations to all these multi-millionaire and billionaires good for them we will never be anywhere near
1:08:07
that so we just uh we have the right to uh Wonder we just like and and pick the
1:08:12
one we dislike the most that's right well remember in front of every Silver
1:08:17
Lining there's a cloud and we're here to help you find it Jason thanks you for coming on and being a guest host on this
