Jost’s Financial Losses
He might be a rich comedian but Jost can’t compete with his wife’s wealth. Scarlett Johansson is one of the highest-paid actresses in the world, with a net worth of over $200 million.
In an effort to keep up with his wife’s lavish lifestyle, Colin reportedly invested heavily in the stock market and cryptocurrency. However, these investments backfired, and Colin lost over $1.6 million.
A close friend of Jost revealed that he was “devastated” by the losses. After the losses, Jost decided to focus on real estate instead, as of 2024 reported by Forbes. Since then he has built back his wealth by putting money on less risky assets.
