Michael Barrymore Net Worth
Famous English comedian Michael Barrymore was especially popular in 1980’s and 1990’s. Back then, his annual salary was often as much as £2 million ($3 million). No wonder his wealth kept growing fast. But his best days are most likely over. As of 2015, Barrymore’s net worth is estimated to be only £1.2 million ($1.8 million) and he drive Ford Fiesta nowadays.
What so shocking about driving Ford Fiesta? Just compare it to his past, when Barrymore allegedly owned seventeen cars with Bentley being his favorite of them. As well-paid gigs are harder to find for him, Michael has to think about having sufficient funds for retirement and cut some of the expenses of his previous lavish lifestyle.
In 2005, Barrymore accepted offer to appear on reality television show Celebrity Big Brother for £150,000. Not a small sum but Michael was used to even better offers. In 1997, his wife Cheryl Barrymore divorced him and his wealth probably peaked right before this event.
It’s estimated that in the time of divorce settlement, Michael’s net worth was £9 million ($13.7 million). Cheryl received their London townhouse worth £2 million and also £1.5 million in the hard cold cash. Some of Barrymore’s more recent jobs include his appearance on Celebrity Coach Trip as one of the contestants.
