Last Laugh: Kevin Hart Labeled World’s Second Highest Paid Comedian After Oscars Snub

Paul Bois

The Oscars may have snubbed Kevin Hart over a past joke that offended LGBT people, but he gets the last laugh. According to Forbes, the “Jumanji” star is now the second-highest-paid comedian in the world behind none other than Jerry Seinfeld.

“Though Seinfeld is on top, Hart certainly gave him a run for his money,” reports Forbes. “The pint-sized powerhouse ranks second with $57 million, only $500,000 behind Seinfeld. The Kevin Hart Irresponsible Tour, which was the biggest comedy tour of 2018, topped 1 million tickets sold and banked Hart more than $30 million. He also starred in the wildly successful Jumanji remake, which grossed nearly $1 billion worldwide.”
