Pop Quiz of the Day


Who is the wealthiest person in the photo?
(extra points if you can list them in order)
A- Larry David (producer, co-creator)
B- Jerry Seinfeld (co-creator, self-titled character)
C-Michael Richards (Cosmo Kramer, racist)
D- Julia Louis Dreyfus (Elaine Benes)
E- Jason Alexander (George Costanza)






Answer:


1. Elaine (Julia Louis Dreyfus)- Net worth- $3 Billion (More than Oprah. Read on for explanation.)
2. Tie between Seinfeld and Larry David - Net worth- each has $800 million
4. George Costanza (Jason Alexander) - Net worth- $75 million
5. Kramer (Michael Richards) - Net worth- pulling up the rear with $45 million
Kind of a trick question. Turns out Elaine is the main heir to her billionaire father, Gerard Louis Dreyfus, chairman of Louis Dreyfus energy services. What can I say? Neither talent nor adroit exploitation of the American entertainment industry can ever top coming from old money.

  3. theres no truth in what he said, he's irish and southern itallian. One of the worst mass lynchings in american history was carried out on itallian imigrants in Louisian and further the Irish have taken some whippings in the arse as well. If you went to England as late as the 60's working class english often post signs that read "NO Blacks Irish or Dogs Allowed"
