According to Celebrity Net Worth, the net worth of Norm Macdonald at the time of his death was $2.5 million. While he became a millionaire, this was a far cry from his beginnings, growing up in Quebec City in the 1960s. He was born to two teachers; his father was a World War II vet. Macdonald got his career off the ground in the 1980s, appearing at stand-up clubs in Ottawa, and was a writer on "Roseanne" for a couple of years before joining the cast of "SNL" in 1993.
He first started with impressions of Larry King, Quentin Tarantino, and other prominent figures before beginning to host the "Weekend Update" segment. Here, nothing was off limits, as the comedian poked fun at celebrities across the country. Post-"SNL", he moved onto "Norm" before trying his hand at roles across various TV shows, while also portraying Colonel Sanders in a range of popular KFC commercials, according to Entertainment Weekly.
