Business F1 Top 20 Petrolheads: Jerry Seinfeld, A Desire For Comedy And Cars
Jerry Seinfeld: The Comic Icon Turned Car Collector Extraordinaire. With a fortune amassed from sitcom success, Seinfeld's 150-car collection, including the iconic Porsche 917, cements his legend in both comedy and car circles.
Among the Top 20 Petrolheads chosen by Business F1 for its collection of characters who combine their profession with collecting is Jerry Seinfeld, arguably America's most famous comedian. Seinfeld is now considered a comedic genius: Producing and starring in the show that has been highly successful for years now has made Jerry Seinfeld a very wealthy man: According to Business F1, he earned $100,000 per episode for the first series of Seinfeld and for the last one he made up to $1 million per episode.
He is so beloved that it is possible to rewatch the series every five years to the point that many Americans have seen each episode as many as four or five times. This makes it so popular that Netflix paid a lump sum of $500 million to be able to air all nine series, about 180 episodes, from September 2019 to September 2024.
