Dave Chappelle (48) – $ 50 Million
If you listen to Dave Chappelle’s stand-up specials, you already know that he takes pride in being the man who walked away from $50 million, back when he decided to put an end to the hugely popular “Chappelle’s Show.” But guess what? Many decades after Chappelle’s life-changing decision, he got his $50 million nonetheless.
Chappelle made most of his fortune with his stand-up comedy live shows and his Netflix specials in particular. Regarded by some as one of the best in the game, Chappelle released his final Netflix special in 2021, titled “The Closer.”
