What is Aziz Ansari's net worth? 'Master of None' creator owns a $5M NYC loft and Taylor Swift is his neighbor
His show may be called the 'Master of None', but comedian Aziz Ansari is a master of many trades. His highly successful career began with his breakthrough role on Amy Poehler starrer 'Parks and Recreation'. He then went on to create the hugely successful show, 'Master of None', which ran for two seasons on Netflix.
Allegations of sexual misconduct, however, slowed down the comedian's career. 'Master of None' will now return on May 23 to Netflix after a hiatus and the show will not center on Aziz's character Dev but rather on Lena Waithe's character Denise. Ansari has directed and co-written the new season. Here's a look at his net worth.

Awards
Aziz Ansari became the first Asian to win a Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series, Musical or Comedy for 'Master of None' in 2018. Ansari has also been nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series, 'Master of None'.

Real estate, cars and jewelry
Aziz Ansari has two homes, one in Los Angeles’ Los Feliz neighborhood, and the other in Tribeca, New York. Aziz purchased his Los Angeles home in 2013 for $2.68 million and bought his Tribeca home in 2018 for $5.7 million. The 2,452 square foot Tribeca loft has quite an advantage, in that Taylor Swift is his upstairs neighbor.
Considering he travels for shows so much, it's his tour bus that he relies most on and not cars. His bus even famously appeared on an episode of 'Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee' with Jerry Seinfeld.
