NET WORTH
With an amazing job history to back up his self-worth, his net worth is estimated to be $ 124 million by Wikipedia, Forbes, and several other publications. Although his estimated net worth for 2019 and 2020 is still being calculated.
His net worth as of 2021 is predicted to be approximately $70,000, owing to his acting career and appearances in TV Series, Podcast Series, Special Appearances, and so on.
It was rumored that he charges up to $30,000 for a TV guest appearance and that his monthly pay is around $2,000, all of which he has yet to confirm or deny.
RELATIONSHIPS
Tabloids and newspapers regularly have a field day due to Santino’s antics regarding his romantic relationships. He is well known to speak fondly or jokingly about his wife several times during the podcasts of Whiskey Ginger & Bad Friends. And even went as far as outing himself as Gay.
The netizens are still confused about his sexual orientation as Andrew never leaves the topic alone any time he gets. He has kept his Real love life private.
In the stand-up comedy named ‘Everybody Was Gay in Third Grade,’ he made fun of himself claiming that he was gay as a child. He said,
“I was homosexual, bro, it wasn’t a question it was a fact, I was a gay man, I was gay when I was in the third grade, you were all gay in third grade.”
His acting as the gay brother of Sally in the TV Series, How I Met Your Dad back in 2014, made Andrew susceptible to rumors regarding his sexual orientation. Which he still continues to entertain by not giving a straight answer.
Married to CHRIS D’ELIA?
On Santino announced his plans to marry a fellow comedian, Chris D’Elia through an Instagram image on 19th April 2018, where, he captioned the photo stating that Chris was indeed the love of his life for quite a long time and went into details of what they would do after that.
However, he eventually admitted that it was all a prank for his admirers, who had repeatedly mocked him for not disclosing his personal life. Chris, the comic, enthusiastically went through with the ruse in order to fool everyone.
He also claimed on the podcast The Joe Rogan Experience that one of his favorite misconceptions about himself was that he was gay, and he helped to fuel those beliefs by uploading images of himself marrying Chris.
Married to JESSICA?
Andrew described his relationship with his wife, Jessica, in the April 2019 podcast Good For You with Whitney Cummings, and how they began as friends with no goal of getting married in order to focus on their job and careers. But they’ve been happily married for four years now.
He also added that he and his wife had gone to couples counseling when they were dating because of some issues in their relationship, and then bonded with each other and shared how much they both despised the therapist’s vibes.
It is alleged that the comedian staged his wedding with a foreign tabloid in 2018. So far, it seems they do not have any children.
The Love Saga Continues…
Andrew still continues to update his Instagram with pics to mislead and fuel the rumors surrounding his love life.
But, like all other comedians, it’s difficult to distinguish when they’re joking and when they’re making a genuine confession. For all we know, his marriage to Jessica may be another joke he performed on his admirers.
If Andrew Santinos has a love life that does not include any of the above-mentioned individuals, he is doing an excellent job of concealing it with bogus proof and mentions.
I’m sure that when he does decide to expose his true companion, everyone will assume it’s a hoax as well. He will have hidden that one truth beneath a heap of deception.
