Late in his newest special “Baby J,” John Mulaney spins a yarn about a desperate quest for cocaine. In the summer of 2020, the comedian bought a brand-new Rolex, then pawned it at a steep discount to get some hands on some quick cash. “As you process and digest how obnoxious, wasteful, and unlikeable that story is,” Mulaney concludes, “Just remember: that’s one I’m willing to tell you.”
John Mulaney made a name for himself as a freelance comedian and has continued to expand his career over the last few decades. Here's a look at the stand-up star's net worth.

In December of 2020, comedian John Mulaney checked into a Pennsylvania rehab facility following a resurgence of his addiction to alcohol, cocaine, and prescription drug use. At the time of his admission, a source close to him said: "John's friends and family are happy that he's finally getting some help and focusing on his health."
In February of 2021, Mulaney moved into outpatient care.
The stand-up has never been particularly personal in his work, instead favoring Seinfeld-style observation and sketches (“Saturday Night Live,” “The Sack Lunch Bunch”) that stand on their own. When Mulaney did discuss his own life, it was either a childhood memory recalled from a healthy distance or an anecdote about his then-stable, long-term partnership with his girlfriend-turned-wife. Even these details were jumping-off points for broader bits about buying real estate or dads’ obsession with World War II, not occasions for deeper disclosure.
