Rodney Dangerfield Wiki/Biography
Rodney Dangerfield was born Jacob Rodney Cohen on 22 November 1921, in Babylon, New York USA, to Jewish parents of Hungarian descent. He was a stand-up comedian, actor, producer and writer, known for his famous line “I don’t get no respect”. He was also known for his roles in the 1980s comedies “Caddyshack” and “Back to School”. Rodney passed away on 5 October 2004.
So just how wealthy was Rodney Dangerfield? The most recent sources state that the legendary comedian had earned a net worth over $10 million. His fortune had been established during his long career as a successful comedian, actor, producer and writer, as well as a repeat guest on many famed shows.
Rodney Dangerfield Net Worth $10 Million
Dangerfield’s father, vaudevillian comic and juggler Phil Roy, abandoned his family after Dangerfield was born. The family moved to Queens where Dangerfield attended Richmond Hill High School. Going through a rough financial situation, he helped his family by taking several jobs such as selling ice cream and newspapers and delivering groceries. At the age of 15 he started to write jokes, and soon began performing as an amateur at various comedy clubs under the name Jack Roy. After his matriculation in 1939, he went on with his comedian career. However, he struggled financially as comedy didn’t bring in enough money, and eventually he started to work as a truck driver and a singing waiter. In 1951 he gave up comedy, started a family, and became an aluminium siding salesman.
After a difficult time suffering from depression, divorce and debts, Dangerfield decided to go back to show business under the name Rodney Dangerfield. In 1967 the comedian appeared on “The Ed Sullivan Show”, which was his breakthrough. Several other shows followed, and Dangerfield found success, plus his net worth started to rise. Dangerfield was known for his phrase “I don’t get no respect”, on which he performed a number of monologues and which became his signature in the following years. He soon opened his own comedy club, “Dangerfield’s” in Manhattan, that welcomed then unknown comedians such as Adam Wrangler, Jerry Seinfeld and Jim Carrey.
At the same time, Dangerfield pursued an acting career, his movie debut being the 1971 “The Projectionists”. Comedy “Caddyshack” followed in 1980, where Dangerfield played a rich golfer Al Czervik. The movie was a hit and Dangerfield’s role was highly praised, earning the actor a significant amount too.
The same year Dangerfield released his comedy album “No Respect”, which earned him a Grammy Award. In 1983 he released another album entitled “Rappin’ Rodney”, a rap parody containing the single of the same name, which became an instant hit. Both albums boosted Dangerfield’s net worth.
Dangerfield’s movie career led him to appear in the 1983 comedy “Easy Money”, playing a common man who suddenly becomes a millionaire. His next movie was the 1986 comedy “Back to School”, playing a rich father who goes to college to encourage his student son. The movie was a great hit, grossing over $100 million and earning the actor a considerable fortune. Dangerfield then took a different role, that of an abusive father in the 1994 movie “Natural Born Killers”, another performance that was highly praised. In all three mentioned movies, Dangerfield served as a screenwriter.
During the 90s, Dangerfield appeared in an episode of “The Simpsons”, and in 2000 he played Lucifer in the movie “Little Nicky”.
In 2004 Dangerfield published his autobiography entitled “It’s Not Easy Bein’ Me: A Lifetime of No Respect but Plenty of Sex and Drugs”, portaying his rise as well as a lifetimes use of marijuana.
The same year he suffered a stroke that led to coma, and eventually to death. Prior to his death, Dangerfield suffered from heart problems and underwent several surgeries, which didn’t prevent him going on with his performances. He was 82 years old at the time he died.
Speaking of Dangerfield’s private life, he was married three times. He married Joyve Indig in 1949, with whom he had two children. After a rough time in their marriage, the couple divorced in 1961. To give it another try, they remarried in 1963 but finally divorced in 1970. He later married Joan Child in 1993, and the couple remained together until Dangerfield’s death.

| # | Quote |
|---|
| 1 | [asked who makes him laugh] My wife, during sex. |
| 2 | I told my psychiatrist that everyone hates me. He said I was being ridiculous: everyone hasn't met me yet. |
| 3 | What a kid I've got. I told him about the birds and the bees, and he told me about the butcher and my wife. |
| 4 | I could tell my parents hated me. My bath toys were a toaster and a radio. |
| 5 | My cousin's gay. He went to London only to find out that Big Ben is a clock. |
| 6 | When I was a kid my parents moved a lot, but I always found them. |
| 7 | My wife was afraid of the dark. Then she saw me naked, and now she's afraid of the light. |
| 8 | I'm taking Viagra and drinking prune juice. I don't know if I'm coming or going. |
| 9 | I looked up my family tree and found three dogs using it. |
| 10 | My psychiatrist told me I was crazy, and I said I wanted a second opinion. He said, 'Okay, you're ugly too.' |
| 11 | I drink too much. The last time I gave a urine sample it had an olive in it. |
| 12 | I found there was only one way to look thin: hang out with fat people. |
| 13 | Comedy is a camouflage for depression. |
| 14 | When I get in an elevator, the operator takes one look and says, "Basement?" |
| 15 | At my age, making love is like trying to shoot pool with a rope. |
| 16 | My mother never breast-fed me. She told me she liked me better as a friend. |
| 17 | I was ugly, very ugly. When I was born, the doctor smacked my mother. |
| 18 | Last week my house was on fire. My wife told the kids, 'Be quiet, you'll wake up Daddy'. |
| 19 | I was an ugly child. I got lost on the beach. I asked a cop if he could find my parents. He said, 'I don't know. There's lots of places for them to hide'. |
| 20 | My dog learned how to beg by watching me through the bedroom door. |
| 21 | If it weren't for pickpockets, I'd have no sex life at all. |
| 22 | To give you an idea how well I was doing at the time I quit [he had given up on show business in 1949], I was the only one who knew I quit. |
| 23 | I told my doctor that when I woke up in the morning I couldn't stand looking at myself in the mirror. He said, "At least we know your vision is perfect." |
| 24 | [in a 1986 interview, explaining the origin of his "no respect" routine] I had this joke: "I played hide and seek; they wouldn't even look for me". To make it work better, you look for something to put in front of it: "I was so poor, I was so dumb", so this, so that. I thought, "Now what fits that joke?" Well, "No one liked me" was all right. But then I thought, "A more profound thing would be, 'I get no respect!' ". |
| 25 | [on 8/24/04, before entering a Los Angeles hospital for heart valve replacement surgery] If things go right, I'll be there about a week, and if things don't go right, I'll be there about an hour and a half. |
| 26 | My wife and I were happy for 20 years. Then we met. |
| 27 | I'm very lucky. Years ago they had images, like W.C. Fields, Laurel and Hardy, Groucho Marx. But today, I think I'm the only one around with an image. And that image is something everyone identified with. They all feel life treated 'em wrong and they got no respect. |
| 28 | I feel sorry for short people, you know. When it rains, they're the last to know. |
| 29 | My wife was afraid of the dark, saw me naked, now she's afraid of the light! |
| 30 | It's lonely on the top when there's no one on the bottom. |
| 31 | I don't get no respect, no respect at all! |

| 2 | One of the few actors to have played both God (in Angels with Angles (2005)) and Lucifer (in Little Nicky (2000). |
| 3 | According to director Oliver Stone, Dangerfield didn't understand Natural Born Killers (1994) during shooting and didn't understand what Stone was trying to do by shooting such a dark subject as a father molesting his daughter in the style of a 1950s sitcom. As such, he found it very difficult to perform his part. However, Stone was delighted that when the film came out, Dangerfield's performance was hailed as one of the movie's strongest points. |
| 4 | In 1990, Rodney filmed a pilot for TV entitled "Where's Rodney?" that was never picked up. It was a story about a 14 year old boy who was a great fan of Rodney, who was also named Rodney. He could summon him to help with life's problems. |
