So how much is the comedian’s net worth? As of early 2016, Vale’s wealth is estimated by sources at $400,000, coming from advertisements from his Youtube channel, various television appearances and his own show.
Vale grew up in Lodi, California with three brothers and a sister, engaging in pranks teenage which which led him to invent “The Pooter”, a small device that creates noise similar to the sound of a fart. To kick up the sales of his creations, Vale began performing pranks using the Pooter, walking around town using his device, while capturing the reaction of the people when he makes these noises, thus the birth of “Pooter Pranks”.

Though one of his Pooter Pranks resulted in a physical fight, Vale continued making other videos, increasing his online popularity. Some of his pranks that became popular online include “Paranoid”, where he walks past people in stores or in the streets and will describe them to his imaginary friend whom he pretends he’s talking to over the phone. The goal of the prank is to see the people’s reaction when dealing with paranoia and capturing it on camera. Another popular one is “Nonsense” where he tries to interact with other people but confuses them at the same time because he speaks gibberish language.

Vale also starred in the show “TV’s Bloopers and Practical Jokes” which he co-produced with Dick Clark Productions. All have contributed to his net worth.
With the success of his videos, Vale was approached by HLNTV offering him his own show, so in January 2015, “Jack Vale: Offline” was born. It follows the life of Vale and his family, and the process of planning and executing his pranks. The show has increased both his following and his value as well.
