When we think of Joe Gatto, we picture the guy who's had us laughing for years. Known for his hilarious antics on Impractical Jokers, the improv comedian and actor has always had the perfect mix of wit and wild energy to make anyone crack up.
But since leaving the show, Joe's found himself at the center of some serious scandals. So, has any of that impacted his financial standing? Let's dive into what's been going on and take a look at his net worth.
What is Joe Gatto's net worth?
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Joe Gatto has an estimated net worth of $7 million. Not bad for a guy from Staten Island who just loves improv comedy, right?
Most of Joe's wealth comes from his time with the comedy troupe The Tenderloins, where he was part of the core four group alongside his high school buddies Sal Vulcano, Brian "Q" Quinn, and James "Murr" Murray.
He starred in and executive-produced the wildly popular hidden-camera show Impractical Jokers from 2011 to 2021. Joe also appeared in Impractical Jokers: The Movie, which likely gave his bank account a nice boost.
