When you're in high school and need weed money really, really badly, you'll take any job you can get. Wearing a hot-dog costume and standing on a busy street frequented by your peers and yelling, "We've got big wieners here! Come and take a bite of our wieners!"? No problem. But Jerry Seinfeld is indisputably stinking rich. He has more cash than Lichtenstein has possessed in its entire history. He has no need to dress up in a bee costume and fly over the French Riviera. But we think we've figured this out. Jerry Seinfeld gets paid, what, $5 million to voice a character in Bee Movie. He then hires a really convincing Jerry Seinfeld impersonator to do the actual work for him, doing the voiceover, dressing up in silly costumes. This costs him, at most, one mil. The remainder, added to Jerry's already vast fortune and benefiting from the miracle of compound interest, will ensure that Jerry's kids (no, not those Jerry's kids) will be able to buy the entire state of California outright in about 2027.
