Between 2017 and 2019, Forbes consistently ranked Sebastian Maniscalco among the world’s highest-paid comedians. In 2017 and 2018, he was listed in tenth place, with $15 million in annual income (both years). At the time, his earnings were heavily correlated with his level of activity as a stand-up comedian. Maniscalco regularly performed at over a hundred shows each year.

In contrast, 2019 is the odd year out, and for one reason in particular. According to Forbes, Maniscalco earned an estimated $26 million between June 2018 and June 2019. The boost in his income that year was largely due to his Netflix special Stay Hungry, which was released on January 15, 2019. As a result, Sebastian Maniscalco’s total earnings over a three-year period were $56 million.

Before Wealth & Fame

Although he grew up in Illinois, Sebastian Maniscalco moved to Los Angeles in 1998, where he began performing at open-mic nights in bars. From 1998 to 2005, he also worked as a waiter at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills while establishing himself as a comedian.

He landed his first minor role in 2004 as a dance club manager in the series Complete Savages, which premiered on ABC. Citing Jerry Seinfeld and Brian Regan as inspirations, Maniscalco began performing at The Comedy Store in West Hollywood in 2005.

Comedy Specials

Once he’d earned enough attention, Sebastian Maniscalco was given a half-hour spot on Comedy Central Presents, which helped him build a larger audience. His first special, Sebastian Live, was released in 2009, and he followed with What’s Wrong with People in 2012, released on DVD and aired on Showtime.

In 2014, his special, Aren’t You Embarrassed, was released after being taped in Chicago, followed by Why Would You Do That in 2016.

Beginning in 2019, Maniscalco teamed up with Netflix to release two more specials on the platform. These specials were Stay Hungry, which debuted in 2019, and Is It Me, which was released in 2022 for streaming. Thanks to specials like these, Sebastian Maniscalco has become known as one of the funniest stand-up comedians of all time with his nostalgia-type humor.

Real Estate

Maniscalco has made significant real estate investments, growing his impressive property portfolio and demonstrating his taste for style and luxury.

Beverly Grove Home

In 2014, he and his wife, artist Lana Gomez, purchased a Beverly Grove property in Los Angeles for $2.8 million. The couple collaborated with renowned designer Kelly Wearstler to create a unique 4,096-square-foot Mediterranean-style home featuring bold colors, custom furnishings, and artistic touches.

They listed this home in 2019 for $4.5 million and later reduced the price to $4 million. Despite its unique design and significant collaboration, the property was sold as part of their strategic downsizing to accommodate lifestyle changes. This decision aligned with their preference for more functional living spaces over lavish square footage.

Studio City Mansion

Maniscalco’s real estate ventures didn’t stop there; in 2022, he upgraded to a $21 million Studio City mansion once owned by Gwen Stefani and later by Jennifer Lopez. This sprawling 15,000-square-foot estate boasts seven bedrooms, ten bathrooms, a tennis court, a massive lawn, an infinity pool, and a guesthouse, reflecting Maniscalco’s keen eye for design and value. The family currently resides in this luxurious property, which serves as both a private retreat and a mark of their success.
