Does one exist?
I'm really nosey and I like to know what people earn.
Ricky Gervais is probably somewhere at the top. I know Rowan Atkinson, Mel Smith, Griff Rhys Jones are all loaded because of their stakes in production companies.
But I wonder how much the likes of John Sullivan, Alan Simpson/Ray Galton..etc.. have earned over the years. Are we talking millions? Or a good few hundred grand?
Millions.
I just found a list from 2006:
(In no particular order)
TRACEY ULLMAN - £75million
MEL SMITH & GRIFF RHYS JONES - £25million each
EDDIE IZZARD - £9.5 million
ROWAN ATKINSON - £40million
JIMMY MULVILLE - £20million
PETER KAY - £8million
JASPER CARROTT - £35million
STEVE COOGAN - £11million
ROY 'CHUBBY' BROWN - £7million 
JOHN CLEESE - £30million
JENNIFER SAUNDERS - £10million
DAVID WALLIAMS & MATT LUCAS - £6.7million each

I know at the end of last year Rowan Atkinson was at £70m.. Don't know about the rest though!
I read that Gervais has an estimated fortune of £7m, this was two years ago though. I read he made £2-3m when Extras went to HBO.
Yea Gervais is for sure one wealthy fellow these days. My guess is he'll top the list within a few years.
I'm sure Simon Pegg does pretty well too.
Tracy Ullman is the richest?! I find that very surprising.

Agreed 
She went to America before all the sheep followed her over. 
I know, scary how much money you can make with so little talent.
3 Of A Kind???
I don't actually know any of her stuff, I don't think.
Have maybe seen a little bit from the 80s when she was still English.
Tracy Ullman receives royalties from The Simpsons! Because they first appeared as part of 'The Tracey Ullman Show'.
Does she reeeeeally?
Wow. Clever person.

I was about to question that.

Three Of A Kind is ace. 
Score. I remember watching the Conan O'Brien show when he mentioned how he's always shocked when ever he receives a royalty check even though he hasn't been with the show for many years.

If, in saying ace you meant shit, you'd be right.
