#19: Jerry Seinfeld (72)
In 1989, Jerry Seinfeld changed the face of comedy with his show Seinfeld, widely considered the most successful sitcom ever. His particular humor about everyday life still feels relatable to audiences today. Since 1998 he has turned away from scripted sitcoms but remains active on the stand-up comedy circuit. One of his more incredible decisions was to walk away from $5 million an episode for a tenth season of his show, when he was at his peak.
