Cartoons Can Be Lucrative

I recently saw an article about the richest people in the comedy industry. Some were obvious, like Jerry Seinfeld, Jay Leno, David Letterman, etc. But many of them were people who have made a fortune in animation. Matt Stone and Trey Parker (South Park creators) are worth a staggering $700 million and $600 million respectively. The Simpsons and Futurama creator, Matt Groening, is worth $600 million. Seth MacFarlane, creator of Family Guy, American Dad and The Cleveland Show is worth $300 million. Here is a list of a few full length animated shows.
