After a storied and accredited career, Gilbert Gottfried's net worth sits at about $8 million at the time of his death (via Celebrity Net Worth). After being part of plenty of large projects in the industry for over 40 years, this isn't too surprising. However, things didn't always look like they were headed in that direction for Gottfried, especially after his time at "Saturday Night Live" wasn't what he likely expected. Fortunately for Gottfried, though, he would quickly bounce back and kickstart the rest of his career with notable appearances in "The Cosby Show," "Late Night with David Letterman," and "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno." Not to mention, Gottfried would go on to become the voice behind the Aflac duck for some time — an iconic commercial role that likely had decent compensation.
Gottfried's last project was set to be "Hassle at the Castle," a comedy that features former members of "SNL" including Jon Lovitz, although it is still in pre-production (via IMDb). Either way, Gottfried's net worth is merely a side effect of all the appreciated and recognized performances that he delivered over the years for audiences around the world. He is respected and beloved by his fellow comedians.
