Trevor Noah: ~ $40 Million

Stand-up comic Trevor Noah likes to stir controversies with his strong views on politics, sports, and society. Back in 2018, he made headlines when he claimed that the real winner of the World Cup was Africa to some degree. In reality, it was actually France that won the match. Pointing out that most of France’s members appear to be of African descent, some football fans called him racist. Trevor likes to dive into racism issues quite frequently in his shows but it has been cleared that the comedian only does it in the essence of comedy and humor, to the displeasure of many.

The comedian-host seemed unaffected with all the allegations made against and takes the backlash professionally with little to no effect on his career. He is estimated to be worth $40 million from his comedy shows, books, and hosting stints on The Daily Show since 2014.
