Here are the richest celebrities from Bristol according to their estimated fortune on Celebrity Net Worth
5. Banksy - £41 million net worth
Okay, so we can’t be for sure he’s from Bristol - but if reports are to be believed, the artist lived in Easton for many years before later moving to London. His works have not only provided political art to the city, but also a focus for tourism with thousands visiting to view his works each year. Among his pieces was a mural entitled “Aachoo!!” in Totterdown, which showed a woman wearing a headscarf sneezing and dropping their handbag and cane, before removal in 2021.
6. James May - £33 million net worth
Television presenter James May was born in Bristol in 1963. He’s best known for being co-presenter on Top Gear, alongside Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond from 2003 to 2015.
7. Stephen Merchant - £33m net worth
Hanham Secondary School ex-pupil Stephen Merchant began his career performing stand-up at Bristol’s Comedy Box - today he’s a renowned writer, director and actor. Most recently, he brought the comedy drama The Outlaws, set in Bristol, to our screens. He is still involved in the city and is a support of a campaign to save an art deco cinema in Redfield.
8. Lee Evans - £25 million net worth
The sweaty comedian was born in Lawrence Weston before moving to Essex. He writes in his autobiography ‘The Life Of Lee’: “Lawrence Weston was, to say the least, rough and ready. We were the dispossessed, continually ducking and diving in a generally hopeless attempt to make ends meet. We were trying to get by – by any means necessary.”
