Scott Adams, best known as the creator of the comic strip Dilbert, is battling the same type of cancer as former President Joe Biden. Adams openly discussed his health shortly after Biden’s diagnosis was made public in May 2025.
Below you will learn more about Adams, his health, and his career.
As of May 2025, Adams is 67 years old.
Adams revealed his prostate cancer diagnosis live in May 2025, noting that his life expectancy «may end this summer».
«I expect to leave this world somewhere this summer», - the cartoonist said, adding that he has been using a walker for several months and describing in detail that he is «always in pain». Adams explained that he has no «good days» and told his viewers: «Every day is a nightmare, and the evening gets even worse».
«It's somehow civilized that you know how much time you have to prepare and make sure you’ve said your 'goodbyes' and done everything you need to do», - Adams noted. «So, if you had to choose a way to die, this one is really painful, like really, really painful. But it also gives you enough time while your brain is still working to finish all your business».
Biden also disclosed his diagnosis in the same month, and a representative of the former president said: «While it represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer has turned out to be hormone-dependent, allowing for effective management. The president and his family are exploring treatment options with his doctors».
Adams is known as the mastermind behind Dilbert — a comic strip first introduced in the late 1980s. It is a satire about a micromanager with engineer Dilbert in the lead role.
Throughout his career, Adams has been married twice. His first marriage was to ex-wife Shelly Miles from 2006 to 2014. Later, he married his ex-wife Christine Basham in 2020, and they divorced in 2022.
The talented comic book author has a net worth of $ 20 million by 2025, according to Celebrity Net Worth
