Congratulations to Kevin Hart. Forbes Magazine named the hard working Philly native the highest paid comedian. This is the first time since 2006 that the top spot didn’t go to Jerry Seinfeld. Kevin more than doubled Jerry’s income this year with about $87.5 million compared to Seinfeld’s $43.5 million. Hart’s major comedy tour and film appearances were the main factors in his achievement.
