Rick and Morty, the irreverent, smart, funny, decidedly strange show is a huge hit. In fact, its the biggest success Adult Swim has ever seen.

When the show went on an extra-long, two-year hiatus between seasons 3 and 4, fans were anxious to see it safely returned to the air. Well, its back, and whats even better is that it was renewed for another seven seasons.

Viewers can happily settle in to enjoy years of clever writing from the shows creators, Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon.

What are the rewards Roiland and Harmon are enjoying from creating such a popular series? How much are they worth at this point in their careers?

When the news spread thatRick and Morty had been renewed for 70 more episodes, fans everywhere rejoiced. Once the future of the show was safe, Harmon and Roiland could talk about what was the hold up between seasons 3 and 4.

It turns out that the two wanted to be paid more, and they wanted to be sure that the show wouldnt end anytime soon. They told fans that they had asked for immortality for the show, but in the end, they would accept many, many more seasons.

But even the seven more years theyve been promised might not be enough time for these two creative geniuses to explore the adventures ofRick and Morty. They have made a world that is so complicated and has so many bizarre possibilities.

Who knows how long it will take them to chase down all the loose ends? Roiland and Harmon have said that theyd be happy to keep making the show for another 20 years, as long as people are still enjoying it and creating it still feels right.

Even though there was a long wait for season 3 to drop, Harmon and Roiland werent relaxing the whole time. They clearly love what they do, and so they just kept working. They did write some of the upcoming episodes ofRick and Morty, but they also kept going on many other projects.

Harmon worked on a limited series animating Kurt VonnegutsSirens of Titan,and he co-wrote a graphic novel calledGregory Graves Vol. 1: Interview with a Supervillain.It was published by Starburns Press, which belongs to Harmon. He worked onHarmons Quest, an animated series on VRV. He also did some acting and kept up with his podcast,Harmontown.

Roiland worked on a show with another writer fromRick and Morty calledSolar Opposites.He also created a video game calledTrover Saves The Universe, which was developed by his game studio, Squanch Games. He hosted the YouTube showMeme Review with Elon Musk, and he also worked as an actor in a few projects.

This powerhouse duo certainly has put in the hours at work, and they dont show any sign of slowing down soon. They both own their own companies, and they seem to have dozens of projects going all the time. How well has all this effort paid off?

Although theyd probably say the greatest reward for them is being able to do what they love every day, theyve also done pretty well financially. Roiland is reported to have a net worth of $4 million, while Harmons bottom line is $5 million.

Its safe to say theyre pretty comfortable. Harmon recently bought a house in Los Angeles for $3.6 million.

All in all, not bad for a couple of creative and fairly strange minds.
