Jackie Mason was raised with five siblings in a strictly Orthodox Jewish family by his father, Eli, who was a rabbi, as well as his grandfather, and great-grandfather, who had imigrated to Sheboygan from Minsk, Ukraine during the 1920s. When he was five years old, the family relocated to the Lower East Side of Manhattan in New York City, where he received a yeshiva education, and spoke Yiddish with his family and friends. He attended the City College of New York, from which he graduated with a BA degree in 1953, majoring in English and Sociology. Right after college, he gained semikhah and was ordained a rabbi in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. However, when his father passed away in 1959, he resigned his job in order to pursue a career as a stand-up comedian.

Mason’s career actually began in the summer of 1955, when he started working as a stand-up comedian at the Fieldston Hotel in Swan Lake, New York; however, he was soon fired, as the audience didn’t understand his sense of humor. After that, he began performing at local night clubs, and in 1962 he made his debut TV appearance in “The Steve Allen Show”, which marked the beginning of an increase of his net worth. Other shows in which he appeared included “The Dean Martin Show” and “The Perry Como Show” among many others. During the 1960s, he also made guest-appearances in “The Ed Sullivan Show” on the CBS network, which increased immensely his popularity.

In 1986, he returned to Broadway, appearing in his debut one-man theatrical show “The World According To Me”, which he performed more than 360 times, adding a considerable amount to his net worth. Thanks to the show, Mason won a number of awards, including Emmy, a Special Tony, an Ace, an Outer Critics Circle Award, and a nomination for a Grammy Award. His next show entitled “Jackie Mason On Broadway” won an Ace Award and an Emmy Award as well. Simultaneously, he landed the role of Jack Hartounian in the film “Caddyshack II” (1988).

In 1991, he was chosen to provide his voice to the character Rabbi Hyman Krustofski in the animated TV series “The Simpsons”, which lasted until 2016, increasing his net worth by a large margin, a role which earned him a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Voice-Over Performance.
