Kevin Hart is the King of Comedy.

Kevin Hart earned $59 million in 12 months, before taxes and fees, claiming the top spot on our list of the world’s highest-paid comedians of 2019.

Though Kevin Hart is on top, Jerry Seinfeld certainly gave him a run for his money. The Seinfeld creator ranks second with $41 million, down a touch from last year last year’s $57.5 million. Jim Gaffigan rounds out the top three, earning $30 million in the past year.

The world’s ten highest-paid comedians made a total of $272 million, that’s according to Forbes. This is a whopping $20 million lower than last year’s haul. Amy Schumer, who last appeared in the top 10 in 2017, is the only woman to make a list (again).
