ABC’s The Bachelor invites celebrity guests to every episode. This time, episode 5 of the 26th season of the dating series will welcome comedian Russell Peters to bring laughter in Clayton Echard’s show.
Born as Russell Dominic Peters in Canada, Peters is one of the most successful and richest comedians in the entertainment industry. With an estimated net worth of $75 million, the 51-year-old celebrity has worked as an actor, television personality, DJ, screenwriter and producer as well.

Russell Peters’ first job was as a DJ
Peters struggled in childhood due to his ethnicity and ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) that went undiagnosized throughout high school. The comedian wanted to pursue education in Sheridan College, but got rejected. As a result, he began working for the school’s radio station as a DJ and soon became popularly known as “DJ Russell.”
Throughout his career, Peters tried his luck in acting, but he discovered that being a comedian is his real passion. Although his jokes have created controversies in the past, it somehow became his signature.
In 2009, he became one of the top ten highest-earning comedians with a net worth of $10 million and by 2013, it increased to $21 million. He owns several real estate properties in Las Vegas, Los Angeles and Ontario. In 2020, Peters purchased a mansion in Encino, California worth $5.6 million.
As for his personal life, Peters has two kids: a daughter, Crystianna Marie Peters, from his ex-wife Monica Diaz, and a son named Russell Santiago Peters from former girlfriend Jennifer Andrade. He is currently engaged to Ali Peters.
