Comedian and actor Kevin Hart just earned his way into the top five highest-paid comedians in Hollywood. Between his stand-up, acting, and other business ventures, Kevin Hart's net worth is $450 million. Kevin Hart's net worth ranks among the likes of Jerry Seinfeld, who recently reached billionaire status, and Ellen DeGeneres, yet another multi-hyphenate comedian with a high net worth.
Join L'OFFICIEL in exploring how the iconic actor and comedian earned his net worth and emerged as one of the highest-paid comedians in the world since his career debut in 2009.
Aside from his work as an actor and stand-up comedian, a significant portion of Kevin Hart's net worth comes from his production company, HartBeat. In April 2022, Hart combined his two existing production companies, Laugh Out Loud and HartBeat into one, taking on the name of the latter. The combination brought in an investment of $100 million, which has continued to grow since the move.
Like other companies in the industry, HartBeat also has ventured into the Metaverse, releasing a line of NFTs to accompany Hart's animated comedy special Confessions From the Hart. The 10,000 unique NFTs brought in $650,000 at $65 per NFT.
While Kevin Hart has made several lucrative business ventures and investments in the past few years, the bulk of his fame—and Kevin Hart's net worth—comes from his acting roles and stand-up comedy. With over 60 films under his belt, Hart is one of the most prolific comedic actors of his generation, and due to the commercial success of many of them, he also ranks as one of the highest-paid comedy actors by net worth. Hart is known for his roles in Ride Along, Jumanji, Get Hard, and Think Like A Man. On average, it is estimated that Hart makes around $20 million per feature-length film role, bolstering the comedian's net worth significantly, but depending on the scale of the project, figures can vary slightly.
Hart also rakes in a significant profit from his comedy tours and stand-up shows. According to Forbes, Hart makes over $1 million per live stadium show. In the comedy realm, a stadium show is a rare sight, and experts in the industry have expressed shock that Hart regularly tours stadiums around the country, but even more so at the fact that the comedian's stadium shows regularly sell out, earning him millions in profits. A 2022 tour added to Kevin Hart's net worth significantly, reportedly earning over $70 million for the duration of the tour. In 2016, it was reported that when measured by year, Kevin Hart's net worth eclipses even Jerry Seinfeld's, earning twice the Seinfeld star's yearly profits thanks to his sold-out stadium tours.
As one of the most ambitious comedians in the industry, Kevin Hart has remarked he wants to be a billionaire before he turns 45, and with a few years left, the comedian is well on his way.
