Raking in the Cash
Comedy star Ricky Gervais brought in a whopping £125,000 per week last year, according to financial filings. The co-creator of The Office made a total of nearly £6.5 million in the 12 months leading up to March 2024.
A Multifaceted Career
Gervais, known for his work on The Office and Afterlife, manages his earnings through a variety of companies handling income from TV, film, comedy, and books. One of his firms, Red Lion 100 Ltd, is now valued at £18.3 million.
Friendly Rivalry
Recently, Ricky Gervais engaged in a light-hearted holiday rivalry with actor Hugh Jackman. The banter began when Jackman posted a sunny poolside selfie, to which Gervais responded with a humorous bathtub snapshot, sparking laughter and speculation among fans.
Potential Movie Plot?
Some fans even suggested that the playful exchange between the two stars could inspire a movie plot, with one user proposing a storyline where Jackman plays himself and Gervais portrays his jealous brother. Could this lead to a comedic on-screen collaboration?
