Trevor Noah – $40 Million

Trevor Noah is a South African comedian, writer, producer, political commentator, and TV presenter. Trevor Noah became controversial when he revealed that the winner of the 2018 World Cup was Africa instead of France. If you think that it was an honest mistake, no, it was not. He did intentionally because most of the 23 members of the France team were of African descent.

Hence, he ended up in the headlines, and people accused him of being racist, especially football and soccer fans. This is not surprising at all, knowing that the title of his first one-person comedy show was called Trevor Noah: The Racist. Despite that, it was still successful. Add to that his hosting stints and time on The Daily Show, he managed to amass $40 million of net worth. We just hope he will never end up needing his lawyer.
