Russell Peters, a Canadian comedian born on September 29, 1970, in Toronto, has carved a remarkable career in comedy and showbiz, to earn a $75 million net worth. He has emerged as one of the most successful and well-loved comedians globally, who has also made a name as an actor in films as well as TV, as per CelebrityNetWorth. Drawing inspiration from his cultural background for his comedy, the Canadian of Indian descent is known for attracting larger numbers than any of his contemporaries, and had once sold 20,000 tickets in two days. Having faced racism as a child, Peters started performing early and by 1990 had tried his hand at hip-hop and DJing. But his comedy career gained momentum in 2004, when a 45-minute stand-up performance on a TV show gained attention on YouTube, and Peters hasn't looked back since.

Most of Peters' wealth has been accumulated on account of his thriving comedy career, through live stand-up gigs, comedy specials, and global tours. His popularity skyrocketed thanks to viral clips of his routines on online platforms that significantly contributed to his income.
