Richard Lewis’ net worth as Curb Your Enthusiasm actor dies aged 76

Beloved standup comedian and actor Richard Lewis has died at 76 after battling Parkinson’s disease — which he announced last year.
The Curb Your Enthusiasm regular, who played a semi-autobiographical version of himself on the hit TV show, was reported as having a net worth of $7 million in 2024.
Lewis met Curb Your Enthusiasm’s creator and co-creator of Seinfeld, Larry David, at summer camp when he was 12. The two would remain lifelong friends.
The late actor began performing standup at New York City’s Improvisation and Pips comedy clubs in 1971 and first appeared on Late Night with Johnny Carson in 1974, The New York Times reports.
Lewis eventually gained enough notoriety as a standup to perform to a standing-room-only audience at New York’s Carnegie Hall, a lifelong personal goal, according to his online bio.

In 2021, he posted on X, formerly Twitter, that he had been sober since 1994 after struggling with alcoholism.
He wrote: “August 3, 1994 I thought that I was near death from alcoholism.
“Early the next day I was rushed to the ER and turned my life around a day, sometimes a minute at a time. If you’re struggling you can get help. I did.”
Comedy Central had rated Lewis as 45 on its list of the 100 greatest comedians ever.

Lewis also starred in movies like Leaving Las Vegas with Nicolas Cage.
On February 18, Lewis was in a new episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm for the show’s 12th and final season.
In the episode, Lewis and Larry David had a humorous argument about what they would sacrifice to outlive each other after Lewis said he wrote David into his will.
The episode remains the season’s highest-rated thus far on IMDb.
