The comedian's earnings have skyrocketed since 2005
The Glasgow-born comic's earnings have rocketed since he shot to fame on the BBC panel show Mock the Week in 2005.
Boyle, 52, has earned a fortune from television appearances, documentaries and sell-out tours.
Latest accounts for his company McShane Karate show the firm has total assets of £4,953,846.
That is made up of £2,340,357 held in an account, £964,980 owed by debtors, tangible assets of £1,386,957 and a £261,552 investment portfolio.
The company owes £734,023 to creditors within a year leaving it with shareholder funds of £4,219,823 - almost double the previous year's figure of £2,233,288.
Boyle set up the London-based firm in 2014 and the accounts cover the period up until August 31 last year.
Despite his earnings, Boyle has previously described money as 'pointless' and said he did not enjoy splashing out on so-called luxuries.
In an interview with fellow comedian Frank Skinner, he said: 'I think ultimately money is pretty pointless.
'When you get to the point that you have money you realise that luxury and that whole idea you were sold of 'Oh it would be nice to go on a cruise', well it really isn't.
"It's like being at a China Buffet King on roller skates for two weeks.

'And these meals that they sell, a romantic meal on the beach and then there's sand on your food and that table moves in the sand and the waiter is smoking a fag.
'None of it is any good. It's like trying to eat the picture of a burger off a menu, it's all just a sales pitch.'
Boyle won a Bafta Scotland award in 2023 for his Channel 4 documentary Frankie Boyle's Farewell To the Monarchy.
His debut novel, which is called Meantime and is set in Glasgow, was published in 2022 and he completed a UK stand-up tour last year.
Last year, he revealed he is considering quitting stand-up to write 'cosy crime' novels.

Second banana no more! Donkey Kong escapes from the shadow of Mario once and for all in Nintendo's stunning new Bananza. And he's not monkeying around, says PETER HOSKIN
Donkey Kong Bananza (Nintendo Switch 2, £58.99) Verdict: Kong is king Rating: Donkey Kong has always played — ahem — second banana to Mario at Nintendo. In the very beginning, of course, this overgrown ape merely chucked barrels at our heroic Italian plumber. Then, when he started getting his own games, they were often platformers in the vein of the Mario series. Just not quite as good. Until now. Donkey Kong Bananza is the second major Nintendo release for the Switch 2, after Mario Kart World — and the second all-timer masterpiece. It's a crazy and colourful 3D platformer in, I guess you could say, the vein of the great Super Mario Odyssey (2017)...except, this time, Donkey Kong has his own groundbreaking new powers. He's his own monkey now. And 'groundbreaking' really is the word. This Kong doesn't just look big and strong; he IS big and strong. He can punch chunks out of the scenery, bash tunnels between different areas, and hurl rocks at distant enemies. It makes every level an exercise in creative destruction. Nintendo's designers are encouraging you to smash up their beautiful inventions. And 'beautiful' is the word, too. Bananza has you — that is, Donkey Kong, with his sing-song-y, shoulder-bound companion Pauline — plunging down through layers of a planet to reach its core. There's an icy layer, a dusty one, tropical, more. All look stunning on the powered-up Switch 2. At times, there's so much going on — with the gameplay, with the visuals — that it's almost overwhelming. Even the two-player mode — where one player takes control of Donkey Kong, the other Pauline — feels like an entirely different game. More! More! More! But rather than see that as a problem, I came to see it as Nintendo's collective imagination in overdrive. They've served up an unbelievably sweet and delicious banana split here. If it gets too much? Pause. Settle yourself. Then dive back in for more. Long live the Kong.

Why are tickets for film coming out in 2026 selling for 100x the price
IMAX tickets for Christopher Nolan 's forthcoming film, The Odyssey, have sold out a year ahead of its July 2026 release. Advanced tickets, featuring stars like Matt Damon, Zendaya, and Tom Holland, were quickly resold for hundreds of pounds on platforms such as eBay after going on sale. Premiere screenings are planned globally in select cities, including London, Melbourne, and Prague, at theatres equipped with IMAX 70mm screens. The early ticket release is a strategic move, following the substantial IMAX box office success of Nolan's previous Oscar-winning feature, Oppenheimer. The Odyssey, an adaptation of Homer's epic Greek poem, is currently filming and is notable for being shot entirely with new IMAX cameras.

Freddy Brazier splits from new girlfriend after huge row rocks whirlwind romance
FREDDY Brazier has split from his girlfriend Holly Swinburn after a whirlwind romance. The 20-year-old called it quits after a string of arguments - just weeks after getting a puppy together. 3 3 3 Friends close to Jade Goody 's son Freddy have told The Sun that it's over between them after one particularly upsetting row. The Race Across The World star was living with Holly and had even gone on holiday with her during their short-lived relationship. They decided to get a dog - a bully called Pablo - and set up an Instagram account for him. Within days, Freddy candidly admitted he had upset Holly by staying out to the 'early hours with the boys', while she stayed at home with the dog. He is now thought to be living back with his nan Jackiey and is concentrating on his health and happiness after a very tricky few months. It comes just weeks after his TV presenter dad Jeff Brazier launched legal action to block Jackiey from seeing him. Freddy had been staying with her at her home in Bermondsey despite his dad's concerns for his welfare. A source close to the Brazier family previously told us: "This is something Jeff and anyone who cares about Freddy hopes will help keep Freddy safe from a relationship that has been incredibly detrimental to his well being for a long time now. "The fact that he is going down this route shows how concerned we all our and how our efforts to keep Fred safe are being grossly undermined by other people." Freddy was just four-years-old and his EastEnders actor brother Bobby, was five when their mother Jade Goody died from cervical cancer in 2009. The Big Brother legend passed away at the age of 27 after a seven month battle with cancer and he has since been raised by his dad.
