COMEDY star Ricky Gervais raked in £125,000 a week last year, files show.
Latest accounts reveal The Office co-creator earned nearly £6.5million in the 12 months to the end of March 2024.
The Office and Afterlife icon has a range of companies to handle cash from his TV, film, comedy, and book work.
His company Red Lion 100 Ltd — just one of the firms that handle cash from his shows, films, stand-up and books — is now worth £18.3million.
And he paid himself a £11million loan from the company’s coffers.
The news comes days after Ricky sparked a friendly festive rivalry with actor Hugh Jackman.
The 56-year-old Aussie hunk posted a swimming pool selfie on Monday, boasting of the December weather Down Under.
In the picture, Jackman flashed a broad smile while showing off his muscular frame as he lounged in the water.
Ricky responded with an unflattering picture of himself in the bath.
Gervais captioned the pic: “Twinsies.”
Gervais’ post quickly went viral while sparking laughter among followers, and some fans even suggested the exchange could inspire a movie plot featuring the two stars as estranged brothers.
In regards to this, one user commented: “Hugh plays himself, and you play his jealous brother… Wackiness ensues!”
