Bobby Lee Net Worth is $1 Million (as of 2020)
Bobby Lee net worth is estimated at $1 million. You may think that is not a very big fortune and it really is not, if you compare it with the fortunes of Chris Rock, for example. But you have to remember that it is the most successful comedians and only them, who actually become multimillionaires. So earning as much as $1 million from doing stand-up comedy should actually be considered an achievement (and I’d say the major one). So let’s talk a little about the career which boosted Bobby Lee net worth to impressive heights and his background.

Bobby was born in California, in the Korean American family. Due to his Asian looks the boy has experienced the results of using stereotypes on his own skin. He felt like people around him expect him to get only A+, to be the smartest an most hard-working student in the class, to be 100% obedient to his parents and to be home by 9p.m. However, Lee is not that kind of gay. He is quote saying: “I think I am against stereotype. Generally, Asian guys are quieter – they study and have a good work ethic. Generally, I have none of those things.” And apparently, this applies for the rest of his family too: “You got to understand, there are two different kinds of Asians – the kind who are good at school, obey their parents, go to college – that kind of stuff. And then you have my family – me, my brother, all of my cousins – we’re just wretched people.” Of course, Lee is a comedian and hence it is likely that he exaggerated things to make it funnier. However, you know what they say – there is a grind of truth in every joke…
Now how did he choose the career that eventually boosted Bobby Lee net worth to 1 million dollars? Well apparently, the accident (or fate, call it what you want) played a significant role here. Since he was 18 years old, Bobby has been living apart from his parents. And to support himself he has been doing various random, low-played jobs, such as waiting tables. Once when the coffee shop he has been working in closed, Bobby just opened the next door, hoping to be hired there. Apparently, the particular door he has chosen led to The Comedy Store in San Diego. The future millionaire has done various odd jobs at the club for a several months, before he finaly decided it is time to grab the mic himself. It was not long after that evening that the other comeians have noticed his talent and Bobby Lee net worth started to grow. Now he says: “When I found stand-up, it was like finding home.“
