According to Celebrity Net Worth, Kevin Darnell Hart is an American comedian, actor, producer, and spokesperson with an estimated net worth of $450 Million. Hart is one of the best-paid entertainers in the world. Between 2015 and 2020, he made $250 million.
Hart started doing comedy under the name “Lil Kev,” and he did his first shows at amateur nights at The Laff House, a comedy club in Philadelphia. After his first few gigs didn’t go well, he dropped the name and tried to find his own style as a comedian instead of trying to copy other comedians. He took part in stand-up comedy competitions in the state of Massachusetts. The crowds started to like him more, and he won a lot of them.
When Did He Start Getting Recognition
He became well-known after getting a recurring role on Fox’s Undeclared, which Entertainment Weekly ranked #15 on their list of the Top 25 Cult TV Shows. This was followed by a lead role in “Paper Soldiers.” Since then, Hart has been in more than 45 movies, 34 TV shows, six music videos, and a mixtape. When his tours “I’m a Grown Little Man (2019)” and “Seriously Funny” (2010) were shown on Comedy Central, he really made it big in comedy.
He was able to star in successful movies like “The 40-Year-Old Virgin,” “Little Fockers,” and “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” because of his newfound fame. Celebrity Net Worth says that Hart’s movies have made more than $1.3 billion at the box office around the world. Hart is also a popular host. He ran the 2011 BET Awards, the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards, the 2015 Comedy Central Roast of Justin Bieber, and the 2016 MTV Movie Awards.
Hart even has his own production company, Heartbeat Productions, which he started in 2022, and a streaming service, Laugh Out Loud Network, which he started with Lionsgate in 2018. In 2015, Time named him one of the 100 most important people in the world.
