Richest Filipino / Filipina Celebrities – 2017 List

#10 – Vice Ganda (Net Worth: Philippine peso 75 Million)

Viceral, better known by his stage name Vice Ganda is an actor, comedian, singer and television host. He is one of the first and one of the few openly homosexual Filipino celebrities. Numerous studies have shown that the funniest of people are often times the most depressed. That may seem partially true for Vice as when he was very young his father was murdered and his mother left him and his five older siblings so she could study abroad. Though he had a knack for political science and ended up studying at Far Eastern University, Vice eventually became a singer as being on stage was his true passion. He would then spend several years developing material to become a stand-up comedian. Vice wound up landing television appearances where he’d perform his routine in front of a live audience. Although he is a very well-known comedian, he has been the center of controversy several times for his crude jokes towards Filipino culture and human sexuality.

It may not seem like being a comedian would make much money but that’s where his acting comes in. Vice has starred in some of the most popular television sitcoms over the past decade and has even landed a supporting role in a drama series titled Maging Sino Man: Ang Pagbabalik. He is also a judge on the popular talent search show Showtime and on top of that he has his own Sunday talk show which is always highly rated. What’s even more impressive is his film career. Since 2009 he has gone on to appear in several movies, five of which are the highest grossing films in the Philippines. Alongside many high-profile actors, Vice has starred in hits like Praybeyt Benjamin, This Guy’s In Love With U Mare!, and Beauty and the Bestie.
