American comedian, actor, voice actor, as well as a television producer Anthony Anderson, was born on 15 August 1970, in Los Angeles, California, apparently of varied West African descent, and is perhaps best known for starring in “All About the Andersons”, his own sitcom in 2003-04.
So just how rich is Anthony Anderson? According to celebrity dot money, Anthony’s net worth is estimated to be over 20 million dollars, as of mid-2017. Undoubtedly, the majority of Anthony Anderson’s net worth comes from his acting career which began in the mid-1990s.
Anthony Anderson attended Hollywood High School, and then graduated from Howard University where he trained alongside such actors as Ruby Dee and Avery Brooks. Anthony made his first attempt at comedy at The Comedy Act Theatre, where he received a lot of negative feedback from the audience, and was even booed off the stage before he could even begin his act. Such an initial reception made it more difficult for Anderson to pursue his dream, however, consoled by his friend Guy Torry, Anderson continued to perform on stage, and soon appeared on television screens too. Anderson’s first major television role was in the teen sitcom “Hang Times” with Daniella Deustcher, Michael Sullivan and David Hanson as his co-stars. Around the same time, Anthony was featured in small roles in such television series as “NYPD Blue”, “Ally McBeal”, as well as “In the House”. Anthony then made an appearance in the sitcom called “The Bernie Mac Show” with Bernie Mac and Kellita Smith, in which he starred as a parent of one of the characters in the last, fifth season of the show. Anderson’s net worth, as well as public recognition began to rise at that time.
In 2003, Anderson launched his own television series called “All About the Andersons” portraying a single father struggling to make ends meet. Unfortunately, the show was commercially unsuccessful and was cancelled in 2004 after only one season. However, Anderson then went on to star in a crime drama show called “Law & Order” created by Dick Wolf, which had more success.
Anthony is perhaps mostly known for his comedy appearances in a variety of popular movies. Some of his more notable roles have been in “My Baby’s Daddy” with Eddie Griffin, “Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London” with Frankie Muniz, “Kangaroo Jack” co-starring with Jerry O’Connell, as well as “Scream 4” with a cast of David Arquette, Courteney Cox and Emma Roberts.

Overall Anthony has been in over 40 films, and involved in about the same number of TV productions. All have contributed to his net worth.

This guy gets my vote for hypocrite of the year. He's a diabetic and on this commercial for Dibetes where he espouses the symptoms, warning signs and treatments for this disease. Then turns right around with another commercial (sometimes back to back) where he's picthing for Smirnoff Vodka. I mean you can't make it up.
