Gervais worth $80m

Ricky Gervais is worth $80m (€58m), and says now that his wealth is widely known, he'll have to part with some of it.

The ‘Office’ creator took to his blog to verify reports he is one of the world’s most highly-paid comedians, but insisted he gives a lot of his fortune to "good causes”, jokingly claiming he was referring to the UK tax service.
