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.

What is Aziz Ansari's net worth? 

Aziz Ansari's net worth is reportedly approximately $18 million. In 2015, Ansari was ranked sixth on the Forbes list of highest-paid comedians. Ansari has amassed his fortune through his work as a show creator (Master of None), actor on both film and television, with roles in TV shows such as 'Scrubs' and films such as 'Funny People' and '30 Minutes or Less'. Ansari of course is also a stand-up comedian and host and is the first person of Indian origin to host 'Saturday Night Live'.

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'. The multi-talented celeb has taken home two Emmys in the category of Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series 'Master of None' in 2016  and 2017. Ansari has also received the Charlie Chaplin Britannia Award for Excellence in Comedy in 2017. Aziz Ansari’s 'Right Now' was also nominated in 2019 for the Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album.

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. 

To catch more of the comedic wit that made Aziz Ansari his millions, you can catch the latest season of 'Master of None', which premieres on Netflix on May 23. You can watch the trailer below:
