Comic Book Icon Lou Ferrigno is estimated to be worth $6 million. He is a former professional body builder best known for playing “The Incredible Hulk” on TV in the late 1970’s, and early 1980’s. As a body builder, he won the Mr. Universe competition two years in a row in 1973, and 1974, but was unable to win Mr. Olympia, coming second and third in consecutive years to eventual champion Arnold Schwarzenegger. It was documented in Pumping Iron, a 1975 documentary about Ferrigno’s attempt to beat Schwarzenegger at the event. He got his acting break as the “Hulk” in 1977, which made him one of the most recognizable men on TV. He appeared in several small roles on TV after “The Incredible Hulk” was cancelled; he sometimes played himself in these roles, some of the most memorable of which were on the TV show “The King of Queens,” the movie “I Love You Man,” and again as the voice of the “Hulk” in 2012’s “The Avengers.”
