James Corden’s net worth – from Smithy to superstar – can you guess how much the cheeky chappy is worth?
That guy who played Smithy is now a regular host for The Brits, and the man responsible for THE best chat show segment of all time (of course, we’re referring to Carpool Karaoke on Corden’s Late Late Show).
Whether he’s singing along with Celine Dion or taking the mickey out of David Beckham, the TV personality never fails to entertain us with his down-to-earth persona and hilarious wit.
He’s got a growing fan base, tonnes of projects lined up and a (very) entertaining show. So – with all that success – what is the comedy king’s net worth?

His Acting Career

From there, he co-wrote and starred (alongside Ruth Jones) in Gavin & Stacey, where he became recognisable as Smithy. The star earned both a BAFTA television award and a British Comedy Awards for his role in the show.

Corden now has a long resume of presenting awards including the Tony Awards and the Grammy Awards. He’s also been a regular presenter on the sport-themed comedy panel show A League of Their Own since 2010.
It was in 2015 that Corden replaced Craig Ferguson as the host of The Late Late Show, but it was after that video that he really began to stand out.
Yep – we’re talking about that Carpool Karaoke video with Adele – the one that stacked up over 180 million views…

Marriage?
After a breakup with his girlfriend of eight years, Corden was introduced to his future wife Julia Carey by his flat mate and co-star in History Boys Dominic Cooper.
