Jerry Seinfeld Removes His Last Flake of Credibility. The Cost? $10 Million. Jerry Seinfeld hasn't really had to do much since his sitcom finished all those years ago. Still ranked by many as the 'funniest thing ever' and 'really, really good' and earning a hell of a lot of money for the people involved in it, Jerry Seinfeld obviously thought he could rest easy. At least until a movie about a bee came about, which was clearly what he'd been waiting for all his life. But now it seems the star of the sitcom with the bloke who drops the 'N' bomb on stage wants some more money - that has to be the reason, as agreeing to star in adverts for Microsoft isn't something you do for integrity's sake.
