Congratulations are in order for Jerry Seinfeld. He topped Forbes’ annual list of the top ten highest-paid comedians in the world with a whopping bank account stuffed with $69-million dollars. Part of that money came from his sweet deal with Netflix.
Netflix also helped Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle make the list. Chris took the second place with $57-million bucks, while Dave has fourth with $47-million. Louis CK – who doesn’t have a deal with the streaming service – took the third spot.
Amy Schumer – who became the first woman to ever make the list last year – rounds out the top five. Even though she dropped a spot, she earned $20-million bucks more to get a total of $37-point-5 million.
Here’s look at the others on the list:
- Kevin Hart, $32-point-5 million
- Jim Gaffigan, $30-point-5 million
- Terry Factor, $18-point-5 million
- Jeff Dunham, $15-point-5 million
- Sebastian Maniscalo, $15 million
