The hugely popular stand-up comedian, writer and telly star filed annual accounts for his outfit Sean Lock Ltd just a month ago.
And they show that the company had cash reserves of just over £1m and total assets – including property worth £350,000 – of £2.8m.
They also reveal that Sean earned more than £1million alone in 2019 as he paid £201,367 in corporation tax which is 19% of income. In 2020, he paid a tax bill of £53,131 – meaning he earned well over £250,000 in a year clobbered by pandemic lockdowns.
Sean, who died from skin cancer at the age of 58, is best known for his role on the Channel 4 panel show 8 Out Of 10 Cats.

His partner Anoushka Nara Giltsoff, 48, is also a director of his firm.
The TV and stage star had shared insight into the love and respect he had for his wife, whom he praised for taking care of their family.
Having suffered from skin cancer in the 90s, he said in a past interview: “My partner Anoushka is excellent about sun protection.
“And if it’s hot, she makes sure she puts SPF50 cream on the children before they step out of the house.”
The couple have three children together.

Sean’s agent confirmed his death on Wednesday in a statement released to the public, which read: “It is with great sadness that we have to announce the death of Sean Lock.
“He died at home from cancer, surrounded by his family.
“Sean was one of Britain’s finest comedians, his boundless creativity, lightning wit and the absurdist brilliance of his work, marked him out as a unique voice in British comedy.”
His agent requested that the privacy of Sean’s family and children is respected at this time.
Tributes have since poured in for the popular comedian, with his co-stars and close friends all sharing their fond memories of the comedian.
Harry Hill, a close friend of Sean’s, told the Telegraph that Sean had called him a few months ago from a hospice.
He said: “Even in his last few days, we were still having a laugh, still joking, still coming up with ideas. We had great conversations.”
A TV tribute will take place on Thursday evening on Channel 4 at 10pm followed by an old episode of 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown at 11pm in memory of Sean Lock.
