Introduction

David Spade is an American professional comedian, Actor, TV personality, and writer with an estimated net worth of $70 Million.

Career Overview

Throughout his career, David Spade has collaborated with some of the world’s richest comedians, both in television and film roles. His career path shares many characteristics with his peers, beginning with Spade hitting the stand-up comedy circuit in his local area.

This experience eventually gave him the exposure he needed to land a spot on one of America’s best-loved comedy shows, Saturday Night Live.

Saturday Night Live

Many of the greatest American comedians launched their careers on Saturday Night Live, and in 1990, David Spade made his debut on the show. He would remain on Saturday Night Live for many years, not only appearing on-screen but also serving as a writer and creating a lot of material.

Like his SNL counterpart, Eddie Murphy, Spade’s reputation would quickly grow, making his content highly sought after. High-profile 1990s comedians such as Dennis Miller and Rob Schneider were among many who used Spade’s written material.

In total, David Spade would play various roles in 70 episodes of Saturday Night Live throughout the early to mid-1990s and work with many Hollywood stars. He was nominated for three Primetime Emmy Awards, and later picked up nominations for his comedic performance on Just Shoot Me!

Film Career

Having firmly established his reputation as a comedy actor and writer on television shows, David Spade was eager to move into Hollywood productions. Having partnered with Chris Farley on SNL, the duo broke into mainstream Hollywood with the box-office comedy hit Tommy Boy in 1995.

Quickly following this with another big release, Black Sheep, Spade, and Farley became highly sought after for mainstream comedy movies. Spade worked with other notable comedians throughout the late 1990s, including a starring role alongside Marlon Wayans in the film Senseless. He also branched out into voice acting for animated movies, including The Emperor’s New Groove, in which he co-starred with John Goodman.

By the 2000s, Spade’s net worth had significantly increased, but would accelerate to new heights thanks to a string of hit movies soon to follow.

David Spade’s success came from his ability to write and perform, but his collaborations with Adam Sandler catapulted him to stardom. He appeared in Grown Ups in 2010, alongside Chris Rock and Kevin James, and reprised the role in the 2013 sequel.

Another huge hit, Jack and Kill, saw Spade play Monica, for which he received the Worst Supporting Actress Golden Raspberry Award. His career to date has seen him working intermittently with Sandler, including on the finale, The Ridiculous 6, and the Hotel Transylvania films.

Notable Television Roles

David Spade has consistently appeared on television throughout his long career, beginning with SNL and with annual appearances since. Many of his most notable appearances have been with his fellow comedians, whether on sitcoms or as a guest on their late-night chat shows.

He worked briefly with Amy Schumer on her comedy series Inside Amy Schumer, as well as on the sitcoms Curb Your Enthusiasm and Entourage.

In 2017, Spade guest-starred on Jimmy Kimmel Live, and in 2020, he joined Ellen DeGeneres on her popular late-night show.

Spade’s work has remained consistent in recent years, with many contemporary appearances in both movies and television shows. While he occasionally ventures into serious dramas, most fans appreciate him for his surreal comedic timing and exceptional writing.

Real Estate

Beverly Hills Home

In December 2001, David Spade paid $4 million for a 7,000-square-foot, five-bedroom, seven-bathroom home in Beverly Hills, California. The property features amenities such as a spa, outdoor pool, and fire pits, and appears to have shot up in value since Spade acquired it, thanks to his extensive renovations. It was also in the news in 2017, when burglars broke in and stole a safe containing $80,000 in cash and jewelry.

In January 2022, after more than two decades of ownership, Sapde returned the property to the market, seeking just under $20 million. He closed a $19.5 million deal the following month. Even after accounting for property taxes (which had reached roughly $65,000 per year by the time of the sale) and agent commissions, Spade still likely profited eight figures.

Los Angeles Home

The biggest purchase Spade has ever made when it comes to real estate, both in terms of size and cost, was his 11,300-square-foot mansion in Los Angeles. The comedian paid $13.85 million for the six-bedroom, eleven-bathroom property in October 2021, and still owns it at the time of writing. Additionally, the home features amenities such as an infinity pool, a movie theatre, a sauna, a gym, a 1,200-bottle wine cellar, and walk-in closets.

Newport Beach Home

In December 2023, Spade paid $9.5 million for a newly-built, 3,813-square-foot, four-bedroom, five-bathroom property in Newport Beach, California. David still owns this home, which sits on a 7,500-square-foot lot and features ocean views from the second floor. According to Zillow, it currently has an estimated value of $10.3 million.
