American actor/comedian Martin Lawrence has an estimated net worth of $110 million. Lawrence started the 21st century with a bang, starring in and executive producing Big Momma’s House, the story of an FBI agent posing as an obese Southern woman, which grossed over $100 million despite universally negative reviews. The film’s success brought Lawrence closer to joining the much-coveted $20 million club, cementing his reputation as one of the biggest comedy stars for years to come.

Lawrence was born in Frankfurt, Germany, on April 16, 1965, and eventually moved with his family to the suburbs of Maryland around his sixth birthday. Soon after, his father abandoned the family; Lawrence claims he got his start as a comedian by appeasing his mother, who was forced to raise her six children by cashiering at various department stores. He attended Eleanor Roosevelt High School in Landover, Maryland, tried his hand at sports and was involved in comedy, even agreeing to stop acting in an art class in exchange for performing his stand-up routine in front of other students.

Soon after graduating, the brow-eyed performer landed a chance to perform on Star Search, which led to a role in 1985’s What’s Happening Now! Lawrence continued to hone his manic style and by 1989 had won two big breaks – a supporting role in Spike Lee’s Do the Right Thing and being the MC of HBO’s Def Comedy Jam. Lawrence continued to land scene-stealing roles throughout the early ’90s, including parts in House Party, House Party 2 and Boomerang, eventually landing his own series on Fox in 1992, the aptly named Martin. The show became a huge success, its ridiculous humor keeping it at the top of the ratings for more than five years and winning two NAACP Image Awards in the process,

On July 10, 2010, Lawrence married his long-time girlfriend Shamika Gibbs at his Beverly Hills home.
