JIM DAVIS, NET WORTH – $900 MILLION
Choose a job you love and you will never work a day in your life. While not all of us have this luxury, it’s always inspiring to see those who have managed to turn their passions into lucrative careers. Just take a look at iconic cartoonist, Jim Davis. He is the man behind the famous Garfield character and the U.S. Acres (aka Orson’s Farm) comic strips. First published back in 1978, Garfield remains one of the most syndicated—helping Jim earn millions in the process.
You might be surprised to know that even at present, he continues to personally work on the comics. In fact, in 2011, he hopped aboard the digital animation trend and began drawing his work using a graphics tablet. We’re sure fans of his work, both young and old, appreciate his investment in modernizing the beloved character.
