As of 2021, Cosby has an estimated net worth of $400 million according to Celebrity Net Worth.

The majority of his worth comes from his now off-air show The Cosby Show.

During the peak of the show, Cosby was the highest-paid TV actor in the world and received a base salary of $1 million per episode before renegotiating his pay up to $4 million per episode.

Before starting his own show, Cosby got his comedian career started back in 1961 as a stand-up act at clubs throughout Philadelphia and NYC.

Cosby was also a regular host on The Tonight Show and from 1972-1979 created, hosted, and produced the Saturday morning cartoon Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids.

Cosby was found guilty of sexual assault in April 2018 at a retrial following the collapse of his first case.

He was found guilty of three counts of aggravated sexual assault and in September 2018, was sentenced to three to ten years at a Pennsylvania state prison.

The 83-year-old was accused of incapacitating Andrea Constand with blue pills.

He then allegedly molested her while she drifted in and out of consciousness at his Philadelphia mansion in 2004.

In December 2019, Cosby appealed to have his conviction overturned but lost the case.

On Wednesday, June 30, 2021, Pennsylvania's highest court overturned Cosby's conviction after finding an alleged agreement with a previous prosecutor that prevented him from being charged in the case.

He was released from prison on June 30, 2021.

Back in 2018, Cosby showed no remorse for his crimes and said he would rather serve all 10 years of his sentence than admit remorse.

Cosby went to trial after being accused of incapacitating Andrea Constand, but at least 60 women accessed him of allegations.

These women included:

Pamela Abeyta Jewel Allison Janice Baker-Kinney Donna Barrett Lili Bernard Barbara Bowman Linda Brown Autumn Burns Sarita Butterfield Renita Chaney Hill Lisa Christie Andrea Constand Lachele Covington Janice Dickinson Joyce Emmons Beth Ferrier Carla Ferrigno Charlotte Fox Tamara Green Chloe Goins 4
