For many, JB Smoove's Leon is the highlight of Curb Your Enthusiasm. While he had a stand-up career prior to booking his role part way through Curb's run, it's the HBO show that really made him a star.
After Smoove was hired to play Leon Black, JB's career blew up. He is now worth $5 million.

Harley Quinn (TV Series) | 2019-2023 | Frank the Plant (voice) |

8 Bob Einstein
Net Worth: $6 Million
- Bob Einstein played Marty Funkhouser on Curb Your Enthusiasm
Just because Bob is no longer with us doesn't mean he's no longer a part of the Curb Your Enthusiasm family. After all, Bob played Marty Funkhouser (AKA 'Funkman', AKA 'Big Funk') in a whopping 22 episodes. Not to mention the fact that he's been part of some of the most hilarious and iconic gags in the show's 20-plus-year history.
Prior to his 2019 death, Bob had a net worth of about $6 million. Over his illustrious career, Bob has made a real name for himself as a writer (The Smothers Brothers and Sonny and Cher Show, to name just two) and producer (Van Dyke & Company and Super Dave), along with being an actor.
Some of the more notable projects that Bob starred in over the years, according to IMDb include:
Ocean's Thirteen (Movie) | 2007 | Agent Caldwell (supporting) |
Arrested Development (TV Series) | 2006-2006 | Larry (supporting) |

Net Worth: $7 Million
- Richard Lewis played a semi-autobiographical version of himself on Curb Your Enthusiasm
Given that Richard Lewis is one of the most respected and notable stand-up comedians of his generation, it's really no surprise that his net worth is $7 million.
While he was not the biggest part of Curb Your Enthusiasm during the later seasons due to some health issues, Richard had been Larry's biggest sparing partner over all the seasons of the show.
Aside from comedy and Curb, Richard's net worth has been earned from some notable projects over the years. According to IMDb, they include:
7th Heaven (TV Series) | 2002-2004 | Rabbi Richard (supporting) |
Hiller and Diller (TV Series) | 1997-1998 | Neil Diller (lead) |

Robin Hood: Men In Tights (Movie) | 1993 | Prince John (lead) |
Anything But Love (TV Series) | 1989-1993 | Marty Gold (lead) |
It is unclear if Richard will appear in any of the episodes in the last season of Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Ted Danson made his $80 million fortune thanks to being one of the most accomplished and beloved sitcom actors ever.
While he was great on Curb as a warped version of himself who's constantly competing with Larry, he was even better in the show that made Danson a star, which was Cheers.
Aside from all the prestige and accolades playing Sam Malone on Cheers brought Ted, he was also making about $500,000 per episode at the height of the show's success.
Some of the other notable projects that Danson has worked on over the years, according to IMDb include:

1 Larry David
Net Worth: $400 Million

- Larry David plays a semi-autobiographical version of himself on Curb Your Enthusiasm
Everyone knows that Larry David's net worth is one of the most impressive in all of Hollywood. While Larry has repeatedly downplayed how large his net worth actually is, almost every source claims that it's roughly $400 million.
While Curb Your Enthusiasm is the main source of income for many of the show's cast members, it's chump change for Larry. After all, he's still making money from the success of Seinfeld, which is arguably the most beloved sitcoms of all time. Thanks to syndication, merchandising, endless reruns, and licensing the show to Netflix and various other sources, Larry will likely keep making insane amounts of money from Seinfeld for the rest of his life and that of his children's children.
