Born February 23rd, 1983, comedian Aziz Ansari is estimated to have a net worth of approximately $17 million in 2015. He ranked sixth on the Forbes’ list of highest paid comedians on the same year.
Aziz began his career as many comedy actors do, spending time learning and perfecting his craft with the Upright Citizens Brigade. This well-spent time helped launch his stand-up comedy career and establish connections necessary to launch the MTV show “Human Giant” in 2005. His most notable television role is that of the self-confident, uninterested city employee “Tom Haverford” on the NBC show “Parks and Recreation”. “Parks and Recreation” premiered in 2009 and continues to air new episodes to date.
Aside from his constant on-going gigs in stand-up comedy and his various television appearances, Aziz Ansari has also been in a handful of major motion pictures. Again harnessing his connections from the Upright Citizens Brigade, Ansari has appeared in films such as “Get Him to the Greek”, “Observe and Report” and “Funny People”. He also had a brief role in the Summer 2013 box office hit “This Is The End”.
