So just how rich is Kevin James, as of mid-2017? Authoritative sources state that James’ net worth is estimated to be $90 million. Undoubtedly, Kevin’s  varied career in the entertainment industry – which began in the late 1980s – is the main source of his net worth.

Kevin attended Ward Melville High School, where he was also a keen wrestler, and later continued his studies at the State University of New York at Cortland, but he did not graduate from it. James’ career started with performing stand-up comedy at various clubs, which eventually earned him invitations to appear on television shows, firstly in “The New Candid Camera” in 1991, in which his talent for comedy gelled perfectly with the pranks endemic to the show, and then as a guest on such programs as “The Ellen DeGeneres Show”, “The Rosie O’Donnell Show”, “The Late Show with David Letterman” and many more, which certainly gained him wider recognition, and boosted his net worth.

Kevin James made his acting debut in a sitcom entitled “Everybody Loves Raymond” with Ray Romano, whom he befriended shortly after moving out to Los Angeles. James’ talent and comedic abilities then landed him a main role in a popular sitcom “The King of Queens”, which helped him jump-start his acting career. Over the years, James starred alongside Leah Remini, Jerry Stiller, Lisa Rieffel and Victor Williams, all of whom played main roles in the series.

The series remained popular among its audience during the nine season run, as the first season was watched by 12.5 million viewers, while the last one gathered an audience of 11.4 million viewers. The series also helped Kevin James establish himself as an actor and earned him a nomination for an Emmy Award for Best Lead Actor in Comedy Series.

After his acclaimed performance in “The King of Queens”, Kevin James featured in many other television projects, including “I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry” with Adam Sandler, Steve Buscemi and Jessica Biel, “Paul Blart: Mall Cop”, in which he portrayed the main character, “You Don’t Mess with the Zohan”, as well as two upcoming films, namely “Pixels” with Adam Sandler, Peter Dinklage and Ashley Benson, and “Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2”, directed by Andy Fickman, all of which enhanced his reputation, and added steadily to his net worth.

Most recently, in 2016 James starred in “True Memoirs of an International Assassin”, directed by Jeff Wadlow, ,  and in 2017, James appeared in “Sandy Wexler“, another Netflix film, alongside Adam Sandler. Kevin has now appeared in over 20 films, and been involved in more than a dozen TV productions, while maintaining his stand-up comedy routine..
