Richard Pryor was an American comedian, actor, and writer who had a net worth of $40 million at the time of his death in 2005.
That's the same as around $50 million in today's dollars, after adjusting for inflation. Richard earned his fortune from album sales, tour ticket sales, and salaries.
In 1983, Richard earned $4 million to star in the critically-panned "Superman III." That's the same as earning $10 million today.
Pryor was married seven times, and he wed two of his five wives twice.
