Cazzie David, an American actress and writer, has an estimated net worth of $10 million as of 2023 [1, 4, 5]. She has earned this wealth through her various roles in film and television, literary projects, and other business ventures [4, 5, 19]. Her career path mirrors that of her father, Larry David, and she has become a recognizable figure in the entertainment industry [4, 5].
Early Life and Career Beginnings
Born on May 10, 1994, in Boston, Massachusetts, Cazzie Laurel David is the daughter of comedian Larry David and environmental activist Laurie David [1, 19]. Her parents divorced in 2007, with her mother, Laurie, reportedly receiving approximately half of Larry’s $600 million net worth as part of the settlement [1, 8, 10]. This would have given Laurie David a net worth of around $300 million, while Larry David’s net worth decreased to $400 million [1]. As a teenager in 2007, Cazzie had a brief appearance in an episode of “Hannah Montana” [1]. After graduating from Emerson College, she moved to New York City to pursue comedy writing [1]. In 2016, she appeared in a College Humor Original [1].
Key Projects and Income Streams
Cazzie David’s career gained momentum with the creation, writing, and executive production of the YouTube series “Eighty-Sixed” in 2017 [1, 3]. She also directed the series and starred as “Remi” in all eight episodes [1]. Although specific figures for the revenue generated by “Eighty-Sixed” are not publicly available, the series has garnered significant attention online. For example, the first episode, “Promise I’ll Win,” has 348,000 views [12]. Other episodes such as “Solidarity Cones”, “Remi v Drone”, “The Birthday Monster”, have also gained over 100,000 views [11, 13, 15]. These views likely contributed to her income through YouTube’s monetization program [1, 11, 12, 13, 15].
In 2019, she further expanded her portfolio by writing, starring in, and executive producing the TV movie “Half-Empty” [1, 3]. In 2020, she released a book of essays titled “No One Asked for This,” adding to her income through book sales and related opportunities [1, 4]. Also in 2020, she starred in a short film called “Stealing Pulp Fiction” [1]. In January 2021, Cazzie joined the cast of the third season of Netflix’s “The Umbrella Academy” [1, 16]. While her exact salary for these roles is not public knowledge, her involvement in these projects has undoubtedly contributed to her $10 million net worth [4, 5].
Real Estate Investments
Cazzie David made a significant real estate investment in October 2021, purchasing a 4-bedroom mansion in Beverly Hills for $6.7 million [1, 18, 19]. The property is located at the end of a narrow, dead-end road surrounded by tall trees, offering privacy [18]. The cedar-sided house has a rustic, lodge-like vibe [18]. This purchase reflects her financial success and status in the entertainment industry [1, 19].
Family Wealth and Influence
Cazzie David’s father, Larry David, has a net worth of $400 million, primarily earned as the co-creator of “Seinfeld” and the creator/star of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” [1, 2, 7]. He reportedly earned a substantial amount from “Seinfeld” syndication royalties. In 2015, he earned $80 million after Hulu acquired Seinfeld’s streaming rights for $180 million, and in September 2019, he earned $75 million when “Seinfeld” sold to Netflix for $500 million [2, 7]. Despite his substantial wealth, Larry David has stated that much of his income is received in future annual payments [7]. Cazzie’s mother, Laurie David, has a net worth of $300 million [1, 3, 8]. She also worked as a talent coordinator for “Late Night with David Letterman” early in her career and produced several comedy specials [8, 14]. Laurie also won an Academy Award for producing the 2006 documentary “An Inconvenient Truth” [8, 14]. Growing up with parents who achieved success in their respective fields has likely provided Cazzie with opportunities and resources to pursue her own career [3].
Personal Life
Cazzie David dated comedian Pete Davidson from 2016 to 2018 [1, 4, 5, 6]. Their breakup gained public attention, particularly due to Davidson’s subsequent relationship with singer Ariana Grande [1, 6].
