Bert Kreischer Net Worth: The stand-up comedian’s millions

Bert Kreischer is one of America’s favourite stand-up comedians who has a pretty interesting life and career. How much is Bert Kreischer worth and how did he make his millions?

Bert Kreischer:

Bert Kreischer is the shirtless talent who never shies away from stripping off on stage.

However, Bert is not only known for his outlandish comedic routines and unique storytelling.

He is also an actor, reality TV host, writer, producer and podcaster.

With all these talents, it’s no wonder the stand-up genius currently has a net worth of an estimated $3 million!

Known as “The Machine,” Bert is known for using his crazy life stories from his time as a student, including one where he accidentally joined the Russian mafia.

Let’s face it, it’s probably these daring and crazy tales that have landed him so much fame and fortune.

Bert Kreischer career:

Bret has had a long comedy career starring in a whole host of specials.

You may recognise him from comedy specials such as Comfortably Dumb, The Machine, or Hey Big Boy, all of which are hugely popular.

However, in 2012, like many other celebrities Bert moved into the world of podcasting.

At this time, Bert began hosting a podcast cleverly named “Bertcast”.

Bert Kreischer also co-hosts two other podcasts, alongside Bill Burr and Tom Segura.

Mr Kreischer also hosted a whole host of shows since the early 2000s, with one of the most recent being the 2020 Netflix reality series named “The Cabin with Bert Kreischer”.

Early Life:

Bert Kreischer was born Albert Kreischer Jr. on November 3, 1972, in Tampa, Florida, making him 49-years-old.

He was born into a pretty stable life, raised by parents Al and Gege.

Al, was a real-estate attorney and Gege, his mom, had a career in early childhood development.

He seems to have a pretty close relationship with his family which may have been what helped him with his family-oriented sketches.

It’s safe to say these have been a pretty big success in America with Bert landing deal after deal with Netflix and comedy central!

Van Wilder:

After graduating from Jesuit High School, Bert enrolled at Florida State University, where the partying ways that feature in so much of his content really began.

He joined the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity and was later named “the top partyer at the Number One Party School in the country” by “Rolling Stone” magazine.

This may have kickstarted his career as the magazine even published a six-page article about him entitled “Bert Kreischer: The Undergraduate” which eventually lead to what we know today as the film “National Lampoon’s Van Wilder”,

However, in 2014, Bert denied having anything to do with the film or even seeing it!

Bert Kreischer’s family:

Despite his wild partying, Bert does seem to have settled down as a family man.

Bert married LeeAnn Kemp in December 2003, and they have been together for more than 15 years.

Bert is said to have met LeeAnn when she was working as a writer, but things didn’t turn romantic straight away.

One account of their early relationship says her initial thought was that he is “not the type you marry – too crazy, too wild, too comedian”.

However, she soon came around with the couple eventually going on a date.

Bert and LeAnn now live in Los Angeles with their two teenage daughters, Georgia and Ila.

Fatherhood:

When asked to describe himself as a father, Kreischer replied, “Selfish. Mediocre. Loving. There are dads who kill it. I’m not one of those dads.”

In that interview, Bert also said that he grew up Catholic and is “ten times more religious than anyone else in his family.”

However, he and LeeAnn aren’t raising their children under strict Catholic rules because LeeAnn isn’t religious.

Bert’s daughters often feature in his stand up material, and it seems nothing is off limits with the Kreischer family!

He regularly jokes about the responsibility of being a dad and even joked about his daughter’s period party in one of his most infamous sketches.

When talking about having children at one of his shows, he said: “F**k that! I did not sign up for this responsibility to be a grown up. I don’t know if you guys feel the way I do but just like, growing up sucks d**k”

In the Netflix special Secret Time, he said that his daughters have inherited his foolishness.

He said: “This kid is weird. Keeps her deodorant in the refrigerator. Yeah, name on the cap and on the base, as to not confuse it with all the f*****g deodorants in the refrigerator. I said to my wife, ‘What’s her deodorant doing in there?’ She goes, ‘Well, you know Ila.’ I go, ‘No, apparently, I don’t.’”
