Kevin Hart - The most lucrative comedian of 2019
Despite the backlash Kevin Hart had previously endured over resurfaced homophobic tweets from his past, the 40-year-old was crowned as the world's most lucrative comedian with $59 million earnings over the course of a year.
This time the no. 2 and no. 3 spots went to Jerry Seinfeld, and Jim Gaffigan, respectively. The 38-year-old comedian Amy Schumer was the only female star featured on this year's list.
