According to authoritative sources, it has been estimated that Spike`s net worth is as high as $5 million, an amount earned through his successful career as a writer, and in addition to being a screenwriter and producer, Feresten also works as an actor, and all have helped improve his wealth.

He had his acting debut in an episode of “Saturday Night Live” in 1989, but had already been a writer for the series since 1988. Feresten eventually wrote 254 episodes of “Late Night with David Letterman” from 1990 to 1995, and even wrote an episode of “The Simpsons” in 1995 called “Sideshow Bob’s Last Gleaming”.
