British comedian Ricky Gervais is worth $80 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
When commenting on his personal blog, Gervais writes:

As for how he'll be sharing his millions, he jokes:
- "I will have to get my family a million scratch cards each for Christmas. I have decided to use the rest of the money to take over Libya."

Hathaway told the Hollywood Reporter, “I can guarantee that if you’re looking for someone to call people out, we’re not your hosts."
