Most of David's wealth originates from [[Syndication exclusivity|syndication deals]] of ''[[Seinfeld]]'' and ''[[Curb Your Enthusiasm]]'', the former having netted $3.1&nbsp;billion in rerun fees as of 2013.<ref name="billion" /> The syndication of ''Seinfeld'' earned David an estimated $250 million in 1998 alone.<ref name="richest">{{cite news |date=January 1, 1999 |title=Who's the richest?

David's net worth was parodied in a 2001 episode of ''Curb Your Enthusiasm'', "[[List of Curb Your Enthusiasm episodes#Episodes|The Shrimp Incident]]", in which [[HBO]] executive Allan Wasserman yells at David: "If you want shrimp, take your $475 million, go buy a shrimp boat."<ref>{{Cite episode|series=Curb Your Enthusiasm |season=02 |number=04 |title=The Shrimp Incident |network=HBO |date=2001-10-14 }}</ref>

In a 2015 interview with [[CBS]], David confirmed that his 2007 divorce reduced his wealth by half in the [[Community property in the United States|community property state]] of California.<ref name="absurd" /> "I have a lot of money", he said, but added that the "figures out there are crazy".<ref name="absurd" />
