Introduction 

As of March 2023, Drew Carey’s net worth is approximately $165 Million.

Drew Carey is an American actor, voice actor, comedian, sports executive, and game show host from Ohio.

After serving in the U.S. Marine Corps and making a name for himself in stand-up comedy, Carey eventually gained popularity starring in his own sitcom, ‘The Drew Carey Show’.

 

Early Life 

Drew Carey was born on the 23rd of May, 1958, in Cleveland, Ohio. He is the youngest of Lewis and Beulah Carey’s three sons and raised in the Old Brooklyn neighborhood of Cleveland, Ohio.

When Drew was eight years old, his father died from a brain tumor. Drew played the cornet and trumpet in the marching band of James Ford Rhodes High School, from which he graduated in 1975.

 

Career 

In 1985, he began his comedy career by following up on a suggestion by David Lawrence (a disc jockey friend who had been paying Drew to write jokes for David’s radio show in Cleveland) to go to the library and borrow books on how to write jokes.

His early stand-up career led to supporting roles on television shows, during which he developed the character of a hapless middle-class bachelor. In 1993, Carey had a small role in the film Coneheads as a taxi passenger. 

After their stint on Someone Like Me, Carey and Helford developed and produced the storyline for ‘The Drew Carey Show’. The sitcom revolved around a fictionalized version of Carey, as he took on the stresses of life and work with his group of childhood friends.

For the WB’s 2004–2005 primetime schedule, Carey co-produced and starred in ‘Drew Carey’s Green Screen Show’, a spin-off of ‘Whose Line Is It Anyway?’. The show’s premise relied on the use of a green screen for some of the actors’ improv interaction with each other. 

In April 2011, Carey began hosting a primetime improv show, called Drew Carey’s Improv-A-Ganza. It was filmed at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada, and first aired on April 11.

As of March 2023, Drew Carey’s net worth is $165 Million.
