Following Seinfeld, Jerry Seinfeld continued his career in stand-up comedy. He also produced, co-wrote, and starred in the 2007 kids' movie Bee Movie, which received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Animated Feature Film.

In 2012, he launched the web series Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. In case the title isn't quite explanatory enough, each episode of the show centres around Seinfeld giving a comedian a ride (in a different car in each episode), and having interesting and amusing conversations with them. Big-name guests on the show included Tina Fey, Dave Chappelle, Steve Martin, and even Barack Obama.

According to reports, Seinfeld is worth an incredible $1.1 billion (£810m). Like his co-stars, he was paid $1 million (£740k) per episode for the final season of Seinfeld, but most of his fortune comes from lucrative syndication deals. He also rakes it in creating content for Netflix, including his comedy special 23 Hours to Kill.
