Kevin Hart Is The World’s Highest-Paid Comedian

He's laughing all the way to the bank.

Kevin Hart tops this year's Forbes list of the world's highest-paid comedians after taking home a whopping $87.5 million between June 2015 and June 2016.

That payday was more than double the $43.5 million that runner-up Jerry Seinfeld pocketed over the same stretch.

Hart, 37, parlayed his unparalleled stadium tour into the bulk of his earnings, averaging a gross of more than $1 million per show over that 12-month period. Considering he performed more than 100 shows during that time and earns a considerable cut of the income at every show, he landed quite a haul from touring alone.

The comic also starred in movies "Central Intelligence" and "Secret Life of Pets," as well as ads for Foot Locker and H&M among others, to elevate his bank account even further.

Hart knocked the 62-year-old "Seinfeld" star out of the top spot on the rankings after the longtime sitcom and stand-up star dominated the list for years.
