Carrot Top Net Worth

Carrot Top has an estimated net worth of $70 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth, Carrot Top net worth page (figures as of September 19, 2026).

Carrot Top is the stage name of Scott Christopher Thompson, an American stand-up comedian and actor who was born on February 25, 1965, in Rockledge, Florida, and raised in Cocoa. His father was a NASA engineer. He played drums in the band at Cocoa High School, graduating in 1983, and a local swimming coach gave him the nickname for his red hair. At Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton he performed his first stand-up routine as a freshman, and in the late 1980s he worked as a courier for a mortgage company.

His big break was in 1991 when he performed on Comic Strip Live, and around that time he also appeared on Star Search. From 1995 to 1999 he was the continuity announcer for Cartoon Network and he hosted Carrot Top's AM Mayhem from 1994 to 1996. Since 2005 he has headlined at MGM Resorts properties in Las Vegas, with a residency at the Luxor Hotel that began on November 22, 2005. His act is built around prop comedy, with dozens of props stored in trunks on stage.

How Carrot Top makes his money

Live comedy is the core of his income. His residency at the Luxor, which began in 2005, gives him a steady schedule of ticketed shows in one city, and he adds engagements elsewhere when the Las Vegas show is not playing.

Television appearances brought him to a national audience. He has appeared on Scrubs, George Lopez, Criss Angel Mindfreak and Reno 911!, and was a guest judge on Last Comic Standing in 2008.

Commercials and branding added more. He was a spokesman in ads for 1-800-CALL-ATT, and his Cartoon Network job from 1995 to 1999 gave him a long run of steady paid work.

Film and commentary work fills out the picture, including the film Chairman of the Board and a 2002 commentary track for The Rules of Attraction.
