He was recently named the richest actor in Hollywood, so it's no surprise that Jerry Seinfeld's first selfie has created a buzz.

While on holiday in Greece, the comedian's wife of 15 years, Jessica, posted a snap of the two of them to her Instagram account, which shows Seinfeld grinning as he holds the camera in front of the couple.

"Jerry's First Selfie. Ugh. Stop. #greeceistheword," Jessica captioned the post.

And it seems Seinfeld has plenty to smile about, with a recent report by research company Wealth X naming him top of Tinseltown's rich list, thanks to syndication profits from his eponymous hit show making him an estimated $US400 million ($425 million) last year.

"With an estimated net worth of $US820 million . . . Jerry Seinfeld is laughing all the way to the bank," Wealth-X wrote in a release published last month.
