3. Chris Rock – $57 million
Chris Rock that ranked third on the list of highest paid comedians in the world, has been on the rise for a while now. He became known through “Saturday Night Live”, and then spread across the world with “Everybody Hates Chris,” which was an annoying person –in my opinion, as it often happens when stand-up comedians make TV shows. His stand-ups, however, are hilarious, and after going slightly off the grid for a while, he made a spectacular comeback in 2017.
Like many other African-American comedians, Chris Rock specializes on black jokes, with themes frequently related to rights. This bib suggests what some consequences to slavery might be present in modern days and it’s hillarious. And even though this is from before Obama was president, the punch line is –again today – sadly and unequivocally true.
