For the better part of a decade, Jerry Seinfeld has stood at the top of comedy. Now, it appears his reign is over, with Kevin Hart taking over the throne as comedy’s newest king. Hart has been named the highest-paid comedian by Forbes, raking in a whopping $87.5 million. This is over double the $43.5 million that perennial fan-favorite Seinfeld drew in. With Hart now atop the list of highest-earning comedians, it makes you wonder how he came to achieve such success.
