A multi-talented actor, Bill Cosby accumulated most of his net worth due to his many appearances in movies and television.

Bill Cosby Net Worth $460 Million

In addition to pursuing his collegiate studies, Cosby began participating in various stand-up shows, and in 1963 received his first exposure to a wide public due to his appearance on “The Tonight Show”. Cosby’s major acting performance occurred in 1965 when he starred in a secret-agent adventure series “I Spy”, for which he won his three consecutive Emmy Awards for Outstanding Lead Actor. Such successful beginnings influenced Cosby’s future ventures, as well as contributed to his net worth. At the time, Bill Cosby continued to perform at stand-up comedy events and even launched a record label called “Tetragrammaton Records” in the late 1960s. Cosby’s appearances on television resulted in the creation of “The Bill Cosby Show”, a situation comedy that ran for two seasons and had a total of 52 episodes. After the finale of “The Bill Cosby Show”, Bill Cosby launched another sitcom titled “The New Bill Cosby Show”, yet poor ratings contributed to the show’s short run. At the same time, Cosby starred in a number of comedy films, including “Uptown Saturday Night” directed by Sidney Poitier, “A Piece of the Action” with Poitier and James Earl Jones, as well as “Let’s Do It Again”.

Yet Cosby’s true acting success would come in 1984 with the creation of the famous “The Cosby Show”. A sitcom that focuses on the lives of an upper middle-class African-American family that lives in Brooklyn was considered to be the biggest hit in the 1980s. The show ran for eight seasons and aired 202 episodes. “The Cosby Show” resulted in a spin-off series titled “A Different World” and earned Cosby a number of awards, including Golden Globe Awards, NAACP Image Awards, and People’s Choice Awards. Needless to say, Bill Cosby managed to significantly increase his annual salary, and in turn, his net worth as well due to the success of “The Bill Cosby Show”. The fame of this sitcom opened a number of opportunities for Bill Cosby to star in various films. Cosby continued his acting career with such movies as “Ghost Dad”, “The Meteor Man” with Eddie Griffin, as well as Spike Lee’s documentary “4 Little Girls”. A well-known actor with an estimated net worth of $460 million, Bill Cosby is an active contributor to the causes of “The Jazz Foundation of America” and has been hosting its annual concerts titled “A Great Night in Harlem” for several years now. Bill Cosby is currently married to Camille Hanks and has five children.

#Quote
1The past is a ghost, the future is a dream, and all we ever have is now.
2Richard Pryor was unique. Many misunderstood his humor. He lit up the hallway, but they didn't understand his use of profanity. He didn't use it just to be using it; he used it in the context of his satire. For instance: In one of his routines, a man wants to be the king of his house, he gets angry and drunk through frustration and takes it out on his wife. Pryor's word choice is in the context of the story, not just to use bad language.
3My mother was an authority on pigsties. She would look at my room and say, 'This is the worst pigsty I've ever seen'.
4Some people have said our show is about a white family in blackface. What does that mean? Does it mean only white people have a lock on living together in a home where the father is a doctor and the mother is a lawyer and the children are constantly being told to study by their parents?
5I don't want sitcom jokes. I don't want jokes about behinds or breasts or pimples or characters saying, 'Oh, my God' every other line. What we want to deal with is human behavior. If we can put it on paper and have it come to life through the actors, then we can have people identifying with us.
6[on artist, Varnette Honeywood, in 1997]: You can depict segregation, starving, and homelessness, but in Varnette's work, you can see teenagers doing homework, a family cooking a meal, girls doing their hair. Certain art in our culture depicts a down feeling about African American people are treated. They are poor and needy and need help in the Rightings the wrongs. Varnette's work let us not forget the personal joys.
7Phil Woods said the following: Death is the last thing he wants to do. Don't worry about it! You don't worry about what's going to be the last thing. You know you're going to be dead. So do I. And if I go before you, am I worried? No. Jealous? Yeah.
8[on Detroit's large population of people in poverty] When I come back and come back and come back I'm making a statement that this is for real. You're about to listen, absorb and to challenge yourself to move in a positive direction. Strength, that's what we're after.
9I can tell you, from experience, that whoever said "Children and fools cannot lie" was one or the other himself. There's only one way to guarantee that your children are telling the truth: limit your questions to the names of their schools.
10If you're a parent, the five worst words you can say to your children are, "When I was your age . . . " You were NEVER their age. You were older in the womb.
11What best defines a child is the total inability to receive information from anything not plugged in.
12[commenting that many young actors don't give their parents proper credit] I'm still waiting for some actor to win, say, an Oscar . . . and deliver the following acceptance speech: "I would like to thank my parents, first of all, for letting me live."
13No parent must ever say, "Get the kids out of here, I'm trying to watch TV. The father who does start saying this is likely to see one of his children on the 6:00 news."
14[on The Cosby Show (1984)] I wanted to give the house back to the parents.
15Kids will spend $500 on sneakers but won't spend $200 on "Hooked-on-Phonics".
16[speaking in Washington, DC, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Brown vs. Board of Education ruling that eradicated segregated schooling in America] These people marched and were hit in the face with rocks to get an education, and now we've got these knuckleheads walking around. The lower economic people are not holding up their end in this deal. These people are not parenting. They are buying things for kids--$500 sneakers for what? I can't even talk the way these people talk, "Why you ain't," "Where you is?" You can't be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth!
17Because of my father, I thought my name was Jesus Christ. My brother Russell thought that his name was Dammit.
18My mother and father ate oink. And they loved oink grease. Lard is what they ate. And they soaked up grease with a biscuit. And they loved butter too. And they sopped up and drank and ate grease. Sausage. Bacon. Ham. They loved it. Fatback. Salt pork. Oink. And I was born with lard all on my head, in the cracks of my arms and the back of my leg. So now my cholesterol is 741. So what? It doesn't bother me that it's 741. You eat what I eat, it's supposed to be. Every once in awhile my left arm will go numb. Okay. But if you shake it, it'll go away.
19[on the failure of his experimental educational/variety show, Cos (1976)] My first series [I Spy (1965)] ran three years, my second [The Bill Cosby Show (1969)] ran two years and my third [The New Bill Cosby Show (1972)] ran one. This show, if I'm lucky, will run the 13 weeks we contracted for.
20I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is to try to please everyone.
21Human beings are the only creatures that allow their children to come home.
22Don't worry about senility--when it hits you, you won't know it.
23A word to the wise ain't necessary - it's the stupid ones who need the advice.
24Gray hair is God's graffiti.
25It's the little things that count when you're a daddy. Like taking your little girl for ice cream. First, you have to teach her about the concept of gravity. I can't tell you how many ice creams I've had to pick up off the floor, rinse off and stick back on my kid's cone. Now that may sound strange, but have you bought ice cream lately? Good gosh, it's up to 75 cents a scoop. A scoop! What's in it, gold?
26The problem is that your daughter has given her heart to a 15-year-old boy, and a 15-year-old boy does not yet qualify as a human being.
27[on his murdered son, Ennis] He was my hero.
#Fact
1The district attorney for Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, charged Bill Cosby with one count of aggravated indecent assault on 30th December, 2015. The criminal charge stems from an investigation into an incident of alleged sexual assault against Andrea Constand, an employee at Temple University between 2001 and 2004, that occurred at the comedian's home in Cheltenham, Pennsylvania, in 2004.
2Both Marquette University in Wisconsin and Fordham University in New York have both decided to pull the honorary degrees they bestowed to the comedian years ago, in wake of the sexual allegations made against Cosby.
3Admitted to giving prescription Quaaludes to women he wanted to have sex with during a civil lawsuit filed in 2005 by Andrea Constand - one of the dozens of women who have publicly accused the comedian of sexual assault. The documents were made public in July 2015. As of 2015, more than 25 women have publicly accused Cosby of raping or assaulting them over the past 40 years. The comedian has never been criminally charged and has vehemently denied wrongdoing. Among the accusers is Janice Dickinson.
4The Navy revoked Cosby's title of honorary chief petty officer, which he was presented in 2011, saying allegations of sexual abuse made against the comedian are serious and conflict with the Navy's core values. Cosby enlisted in the Navy in 1956 and served four years as a hospital corpsman before being honorably discharged in 1960 as a 3rd Class Petty Officer. Furthermore, Cosby resigned from Temple University's board of trustees, a seat he had held since 1982. [December 2014]
5In July 2015, New York Magazine depicted 35 of the 46 women who had accused Bill Cosby of sexually assaulting them on its cover. The cover story included interviews from 35 of Cosby's accusers.
6In the wake of court documents from 2005 being revealed in which Cosby admitted to drugging women to have sex with them, Walt Disney World removed a Bust of Cosby from its Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Hall of Fame Plaza in the Hollywood Studios theme park in Florida. Furthermore, Bounce TV pulled reruns of Cosby (1996) while Centric Network no longer aired reruns of The Cosby Show (1984). [July 2015]

12Uncle of Braxton Cosby.
13Bill Cosby's television debut was on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson (1962), on August 6, 1963. Allan Sherman was the guest host and after his six-minute stand-up comedy routine ("Karate"), he was "called over" to chat.
14Bill Cosby: Far from Finished (2013) was the first of his televised concerts which was specifically produced to accommodate the inclusion of television commercials.
15Father of Ensa Cosby.
16Cousin of Del Shields.
17He was the first entertainer to win an Emmy Award, the Mark Twain Prize, and the Spingarn Medal.
18Best known by the public for his starring role as Dr. Cliff Huxtable on The Cosby Show (1984).
19Received the 12th annual Mark Twain Prize for American Humor [October 2009].
20Played in two movies where his characters were mistook for Satan: The Devil and Max Devlin (1981) and Ghost Dad (1990).
21Played as Running Back for Temple University (Philadelphia, PA, USA) football team during the 1962-1964 seasons.
22Holds a Doctorate in Education.
23Did not submit himself for Emmy consideration during the eight-year run of The Cosby Show (1984).
24Upon receiving his Bob Hope Humanitarian Award at the 2003 Emmys, Cosby paid tribute to two people: children's show host Fred Rogers (who had died earlier that year) and, poignantly, his late son, Ennis.
25Won the Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album six years in a row, 1965 to 1970.
26When The Cosby Show (1984) was ruling the NBC line-up in the mid-'80s, he insisted that NBC purchase and use Ikegami studio cameras for the production of his show. At the time NBC was owned by RCA, whose studio cameras NBC used exclusively. But Cosby felt that Ikegami's product produced a better picture. NBC agreed and used the cameras.
27Outstanding athlete at Temple University, in football and track and field.
28All his children name's start with the letter E for excellence
29Recently became a vegetarian.
30Like Bob Newhart, has the ability to be funny without resorting to profanity.
31Wife Camille O. Cosby (nee Hanks) is related to Tom Hanks, and both share lineage with Abraham Lincoln through Lincoln's mother, Nancy Hanks.
32Dyslexia ran in the Cosby family. Bill didn't inherit it, but brother Russell Cosby did (not finding out until he was an adult). Bill's son Ennis was dyslexic, but overcame it well enough to graduate from college.
33When The Cosby Show (1984) was ruling the NBC line-up in the mid-'80s, he insisted that his newly produced show, A Different World (1987), a spin-off of "The Cosby Show", follow after his show instead of the hit Family Ties (1982). He wanted this because he felt there was a lack of shows on TV that featured African-Americans in a positive light. NBC made the move, which led to two things happening: "The Cosby Show" audience was cut by 20% and never fully recovered, and "Family Ties" struggled to get the high numbers it once received. It was canceled in 1989.
34He decided to become a stand-up comedian when he was a bartender. Many of the bar's customers would comment on how funny he was and tell him to try his act on stage for an audience. He is one of the most successful stand-up comics in history, releasing numerous hit records of his shows and still selling out venues to this date.
35When The Simpsons (1989)) started competing with The Cosby Show (1984) in 1989, the already declining audience of the show decreased even more. Because of this, both shows had a playful attitude toward each other. "The Cosby Show" made small references to the "The Simpsons", including one episode where Bill wore a Bart Simpson mask, and "The Simpsons" made small references to "The Cosby Show", including the character of Dr. Hibbert, a direct reference to Cosby.
36Within 15 seconds after watching Kenan Thompson's Fat Albert (2004) audition tape, he said to director Joel Zwick, "Hire him!"
37The character Dr. Hibbert from The Simpsons (1989) is based on him.
38Has been imitated by various comedians, such as Eddie Murphy, Jamie Foxx, Dave Coulier, Eddie Griffin, Kenan Thompson and Adam Sandler.

50First black performer to win an Emmy, for I Spy (1965).
51Son Ennis is buried on Cosby family estate in Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts.
52Is a member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity.
53Many elements of The Cosby Show (1984) were references to his own family. Phylicia Rashad's (Clair Huxtable's) maiden name was Hanks, like his wife Camille's maiden name. Also, like he has in real life, the Huxtables had four daughters and one son.
54Grand marshal, Tournament of Roses parade [2003]
55Insisted that The Cosby Show (1984) be filmed in New York; he disliked working in Hollywood.
56In addition to numerous best-selling comedy albums over the years, for which he won several Grammy awards, Cosby had a top-40 hit as a singer in 1969 with "Little Old Man."
57Sang on a number of albums in the 1970s.
