Blessed with a myriad of talents, Kevin Hart is a comedian, movie star, producer, and even a spokesperson for various commercial ventures. Over the years, Hart’s unwavering dedication and exceptional abilities have propelled him to incredible success and substantial wealth. However, is Hart’s remarkable financial success enough to beat his friend and co-star Dwayne Johnson in a race for annual earnings?
Kevin Hart’s Net Worth in 2023
Reportedly, as of 2023, Kevin Hart has amassed a gigantic net worth of $450 million. With a majority stake of 85% in a $650 million worth new media venture Hartbeat, Hart’s live standup performances have also contributed to a huge share of his earnings.
As per Forbes, in 2016, Hart’s standup shows helped him accumulate over $1 million. Moreover, the comedian made a whopping $70 million from his “What Now?” tour from 2015 to 2016. Depending on the type and number of his projects, the Jumanji actor’s annual income is estimated to be anywhere around $40 million – $60 million a year.
Apart from that, Kevin Hart makes around $20 million from his acting gigs in movies. Based on the box office collections of the movies, his payday might even cross the $20 million mark.

Can Kevin Hart beat Dwayne Johnson in annual earnings?
There is no doubt that Kevin Hart is talented. And it’s his persona that helps him flourish in all aspects of his career. Just like Hart explained in a media interaction before hosting the Oscars, he is a brand in himself.
“I am not threatening, and that’s how I’m able to put myself in front of all audiences, all ages. It doesn’t matter your race, your size, ethnicity, age. I’m comfortable in all of those environments because of the person that I am, which allows me to build my brand even more. That’s the talent of being a likable personality.”
But does this mean he can beat Dwayne Johnson? Dwayne Johnson’s earnings are humungous. In fact, the Rock once broke a Forbes record! Named as the highest-paid celeb by Forbes in 2020, Johnosn’s net worth in 2023 is around $820 million.
Just like Hart, Johnson’s per-film earnings are around $20 million. Moreover, he also cashes in on small-screen projects like NBC’s Titan Games and his Under Armour line Project Rock.
However, as per the information available, it’s clear that Kevin Hart makes around $60 million a year on average, whereas Johnson’s per-year earnings have been recorded at $100 million approximately. But just like everything else, nothing is unachievable for Hart. Based on Hart’s projects this year, only time will tell if the multi-talented actor/comedian can beat the Rock in annual earnings in 2023.
