It also holds the distinction for being the longest-running primetime TV series in history!

Did you know that The Simpsons franchise currently has an estimated worth of over $750 million? It isn’t too surprising to learn that Matt is one of the world’s highest-paid cartoonists today! As of 2020, Matt Groening’s current net worth is an estimated $650 million. It’s not hard to imagine since he started his career at the early age of 23 years old in 1977, doing a series of odd jobs in LA. During this time, he started drawing for his self-made book titled Life in Hell, which was wholly based on his struggles.
