Ricky Gervais is worth $80 million. <\/p>\n
The ‘Office’ creator took to his blog to verify reports he is one of the world’s most highly-paid comedians, but insisted he gives a lot of his fortune to “good causes”, jokingly claiming he was referring to the UK tax service.<\/p>\n
He wrote: “They are of course spot on. I know it sounds a lot, but remember, I donate a lot of this to good causes. The Inland Revenue mainly. The Inland Revenue is the British version of the IRS.”<\/p>\n
The 49-year-old star – who is behind TV comedy series including ‘Extras’ and ‘An Idiot Abroad’ in the UK, as well as star of movies ‘The Invention Of Lying’ and ‘Cemetery Junction’ – also joked now the word is out he’ll have to share more of his riches. <\/p>\n
He said: “I will have to get my family a million lottery scratch cards each for Christmas.”<\/p>\n
Referring to the currently politically-unstable African nation, he added: “I have decided to use the rest of the money to take over Libya.”<\/p>\n
Ricky also has a successful career as a stand-up comedian, and recently hosted the Golden Globes awards in Los Angeles for a second time.<\/p>\n
His controversial jokes – hinting that famous Scientologists are gay, introducing Bruce Willis as “Ashton Kutcher’s dad” and teasing other celebrities such as Angelina Jolie, Johnny Depp and Charlie Sheen- caused a stir among organisers and Hollywood’s A-list stars.<\/p>\n
