Frankie Boyle Net Worth
Frankie Boyle is one of the most successful British comedians. His typical pessimistic sense of humor brought him an incredible fortune. Boyle’s net worth is £3.3 million ($5.1 million) as of 2015. This wealth originates from various sources of income, TV and radio appearances, but also book sales and DVD sales.
Boyle was born 16 August 1972 in near Glasgow. He lives with his girlfriend Shereen Taylor. They already have two kids together but aren’t married. He studied urban planning at Aston University but left after a year and later pursued a Bachelor’s Degree in English Literature at Sussex University. Neither of it became truly his vocation. His stellar career still laid in front of him.
In 2005, Boyle started appearing on the show Mock the Week. He had a great success. His net worth and fame grew and was invited into several other shows. In 2009, Boyle branched out and became an author when he published his autobiographical book named My Sh*t Life So Far (the star added). It must have been a success since in 2011 he released another book Work! Consume! Die! In 2013, he published so far his last Scotland’s Jesus: The Only Officially Non-racist Comedian.
Frankie was involved in several scandals and controversies. Some of his jokes were perceived by some as insensitive and several of them touched the delicate theme of conflict in Palestine, taking the Arabic side. The Daily Mail newspaper blamed in 2012 Boyle of evading taxes. Boyle himself claims to be a huge admirer of Noam Chomsky and even more left-wing than him.
