Laughing all the way to the bank

The late-night comedy sketch show Saturday Night Live (SNL) was the brainchild of comedian Lorne Michaels and made its TV debut on NBC all the way back in 1975.

Fast-forward almost fifty years and SNL is still going strong, with the wildly successful series launching the comedy careers of a host of global stars.

From new kid on the block Pete Davidson to comedy legends like Will Ferrell and Eddie Murphy, read on for a look at some of SNL’s most famous faces and discover who's richest today.

All dollar amounts in US dollars.
