What Is Bill Burr’s Net Worth and Salary?

With a net worth of $14 million, Bill Burr is an American stand-up comedian, actor, and writer. Since 1992, he has been entertaining audiences through comedy, but he is perhaps best known today for his roles in popular television shows like “Breaking Bad” and “The Mandalorian.”

Early Life

Born William Frederick Burr on June 10th, 1968, in Canton, Massachusetts, Bill is the child of a dentist and a nurse. From a young age, he had a passion for show business and went on to earn a degree in radio from Boston’s Emerson College in 1993. Before making his mark in the comedy world, Burr worked various jobs in warehouses, often reminiscing about the liberty those positions granted him, as reflected in one of his stand-up routines: “If my boss gave me a rough time, I could just get on a forklift and just, like, drive away.”

Comedy Career

Recognized for his satirical and observational humor, Bill Burr has made numerous appearances on late-night talk shows and in several comedy specials featured on HBO and Comedy Central. He has also released various albums and, in 2007, launched his weekly podcast, “Bill Burr’s Monday Morning Podcast.” Additionally, he has been a guest on podcasts hosted by fellow comedians like “The Adam Carolla Show,” “The Joe Rogan Experience,” “WTF with Marc Maron,” Chris Hardwick’s “Nerdist” podcast, and “Nobody Likes Onions.” In 2019, he co-hosted another podcast called “Bill Bert Podcast” alongside fellow comedian Bert Kreischer. Burr has cited influential comics, including George Carlin, Mort Sahl, Bill Hicks, Bill Cosby, Sam Kinison, Patrice O’Neal, and Richard Pryor, among his idols. His peers have recognized him as a “comedian’s comedian,” and “Rolling Stone” dubbed him “the undisputed heavyweight champ of rage-fueled humor.” “The New York Times” has described him as “a cynic and a contrarian who has never paid any heed to political correctness” and “one of the funniest, most distinctive voices in the country for years.”

Having released multiple comedy specials, Bill Burr’s works include “Let it Go,” which was recorded at The Fillmore in San Francisco and aired on Comedy Central in 2010; “You People Are All the Same,” which debuted on Netflix in 2012; “I’m Sorry You Feel That Way,” released on Netflix in 2014; and “Walk Your Way Out,” which came out in 2017 on Netflix. Continuing his collaboration with Netflix, he launched “Paper Tiger” in 2019, along with an animated series titled “F is for Family” in 2015, which received critical acclaim. In 2022, he introduced his Netflix specials “Friends Who Kill” and “Live at Red Rocks.”

Outside of his personal projects, Burr has been a recognizable figure among comedy fans. He frequently participated in sketches on Comedy Central’s “Chappelle’s Show” and appeared in six episodes of the later Comedy Central sketch series “Kroll’s Show.” Additionally, he featured in the HBO series “Crashing,” which revolves around the stand-up comedy scene, in an episode fittingly named “Bill Burr.” He also had the honor of appearing on Jerry Seinfeld’s interview series “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.”

Acting

Though Burr’s career has mainly revolved around stand-up comedy and podcasting, he has also made appearances in various films and television series. His journey in the acting realm began in 1996 with the role of Ryan Callahan on the short-lived sitcom “Townies,” which was broadcast for a brief period on ABC. His acting credits encompass titles such as “Perfect Fit,” “Passionada,” “Twisted Fortune,” “Date Night,” “Breaking Bad,” “Stand Up Guys,” “Walk of Shame,” “The Heat,” “Black and White,” and “Zombeavers.” In 2002, he played a jogger in an episode of “Law & Order: Criminal Intent.” Burr’s role in “Breaking Bad” introduced him to a wider audience, but in 2019, he achieved an unexpected milestone by officially entering the “Star Wars” universe through an episode of the Disney+ series “The Mandalorian.” Additionally, he featured in the final season of HBO’s “Barry.” In 2023, he took on the lead role in the comedy film “Old Dads,” which he also co-wrote, directed, and produced.

Additionally, Burr was part of the group of comedians associated with the former radio program “The Opie and Anthony Show,” and in 2008, his voice made an appearance in the video game “Grand Theft Auto IV.”

Personal Life

Since 2013, Burr has been married to Nia Hill, who is a producer, writer, and director. They welcomed their daughter in January 2017 and their son in June 2020. In his downtime, Bill enjoys being a licensed helicopter pilot and is also a drummer. He has shared his enthusiasm for heavy metal music and cigars, having indulged in the latter with Jerry Seinfeld during his mentioned episode of “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.”

Real Estate

In 2017, Bill acquired a home in Los Feliz, California, for $4.7 million. The following year, he sold a 2,663-square-foot villa in Los Feliz, which he had originally purchased in 2011. Interestingly, at that time, reports suggested that he still owned a fairly unremarkable one-bedroom apartment in the Hell’s Kitchen area of New York City, likely to maintain a connection to New York for his comedy career.
