Bert Kreischer’s Net Worth Proves How ‘Failing Upward’ Helped His Comedy Career
Bert Kreischer became one of the most notable comedians in America by just showing off his silly self (and his stomach). Once dubbed as “the top partyer at the Number One Party School in the country” by Rolling Stone, the media personality has come a long way with his success.
The comedian has been selling out his comedy shows for decades and has multiple business ventures under his belt—like his podcasts Bertcast, Two Bears One Cave, and Something’s Burning), Netflix comedy special deals, and a film production company. He told Forbes, “There’s a part of me that really wants to talk about the hard work because I think a lot of times people think that I’m just a drunk Forrest Gump and that— and I am very, very lucky. While I like isolating luck because I think it’s easier for someone to be able to see your path when you show the luck that’s been tethered through it, I put a lot of thought into a lot of things that people don’t think about business-wise.”
Though he found success later in life, he still takes time to relish all of it. “I’m so lucky that I failed for as long as I did. I mean, I’m being dead serious,” Kreischer told the site. “Everyone should be as lucky as I am to find success at 44 and to have a movie come out at 50, because I mean it’s the perfect code. There’s no pressure on me, I mean I’m failing upwards.”
