8. Jeff Dunham – $13.5 million
And now for something completely different… A VENTRILOQUIST.
Working hard all through the 90s to make a name for himself on TV, Jeff finally got what he wanted in 2006, when Comedy Central produced a one hour special titled “Arguing with Myself.” This huge success would be the beginning of his proliferous career.
Way more improper than the next guy, Jeff Dunham, that ranked 8th on the list of highest paid comedians in the world, likes to joke about terrorism the most, and even though it’s in a cute way, this has brought him lots of both praise and rejection. His most popular sketch is that of “Achmed the Dead Terrorist.” Here’s one for your delight.
