Let Gifs Explain Jimmy Fallon's Net Worth

by Christine DiStasio

Jimmy Fallon's got an impressive price tag. According to Celebrity Net Worth, the beloved host and comedian who recently took over The Tonight Show, Fallon has a net worth of $25 million. Fallon is also reportedly earning $11 million per year now that he's taken over for Jay Leno. That's huge but no one could argue that every cent isn't well-deserved — especially since he brought us "Let It Go" on classroom instruments.

So how did Fallon go from being a funny kid from Saugerties, New York, who started his comedy career by reenacting his favorite SNL skits for his parents on Sunday mornings, end up here? Aside from being hilarious and befriending everyone's favorite guy, Justin Timberlake — Fallon spent six years on Saturday Night Live, hosted a few MTV awards shows, starred an underrated rom-com with Drew Barrymore, and hosted Late Night for five years before being tapped to succeed Jay Leno as the host of The Tonight Show. His resumé is the obvious explanation for his impressive net worth, but we think there's more to it than that.

Here's what we think some of Fallon's best skits and performances are worth, in the breakdown of that $25 million:
