Being one of the funniest men in the world, Jim Carrey has cultivated an image that is as distinctive as he is. Fame didn’t come easy for him, but Carrey, to his credit, worked hard to get to where he is. Soon he became one of the most popular comedy actors and made it to the list of the richest, too.

During the past two decades, he has played some of the most famous characters, including Ace Ventura, The Mask, Riddler, and The Grinch.

Carrey eventually took to writing later in life, authoring a children’s book named How Roland Rolls in 2013. His book won the Gelett Burgess Children’s Book Award. More recently, Carrey co-authored Memoirs and Misinformation. Jim is proof that you can achieve a lot through hard work and determination.
