How Much Is David Schwimmer Worth?

David Schwimmer's seclusion from the limelight was not that bad considering all the money he made from "Friends." As a main cast member on the show, Schwimmer and his co-stars went from making $22,500 per episode in Season 1 to $1 million per episode by Seasons 9 and 10, via Celebrity Net Worth. To top that off, the cast successfully renegotiated their contracts in 2000 to include royalties once the popular sitcom went into syndication. As a result, Schwimmer has an estimated net worth of $100 million. 

His earnings come by way of his acting career and real estate investments. After "Friends," Schwimmer did voiceover work in all of the "Madagascar" films and appeared in reccuring roles in a few scripted television series, via IMDb. Many were impressed by his portrayal of the late Robert Kardashian in "American Crime Story," too, including the famed lawyer's reality star daughter Kim Kardashian, via Entertainment Tonight. After feeling "pigeonholed in this one genre," Schwimmer credited his time away from Hollywood for helping him realize his privileges. 

"The older I get and the more my perspective shifts," he told The Guardian in January 2020. "The more you realize just how good you had it. That 10-year run with that particular cast, that group of writers, those directors. It was an amazing time professionally, but mostly creatively." He also boasted about how "groundbreaking" the award-winning sitcom was "for the way in which it handled so casually sex, protected sex, gay marriage and relationships."
