Here's How Much Cedric The Entertainer Is Really Worth

"Have something to fall back on."

"Have something to fall back on." That seems to be the first piece of advice that's given to dreamers: You know, those people who not only envision reaching whatever lofty goal they've set for themselves, but also take actual steps to get there. But what happens after they've secured that stable career and their passion to be in entertainment still burns? Some might do both things by working a 9-to-5 job, then resume chasing their dreams at 6. Others, however — like Cedric the Entertainer — leave their day jobs altogether and forge toward the unknown. 

For Cedric, he quit his job as a claims adjuster for State Farm, where he etched out a decent living for himself. Ironically, it was that same level of comfort that scared him and pushed him to resign. "You're a young man, you're about to start getting trapped making $60, $70,000 a year," he said in a February 2020 interview on "Money Making Conversations." "If I start making this money, I'll never go for my dreams." 

Cedric also sold electronics for Best Buy before his comedy career took off and had a paper route, slinging ink for the Wall Street Journal at age 27. During a 2019 visit to "The Kelly Clarkson Show," he called the latter the job that he was "most embarrassed" by.
