• Chris Rock Acting Career

Chris Rock, a prominent name in Hollywood, is an actor, writer, producer, and comedian who as of 2023, is worth $60 million.

Gaining traction in the early 90s, Chris Rock started to take off thanks to his time on Saturday Night Live, which served as a pedestal for his acting and comedy career.

Rock, who was performing stand-up comedy for years at the time, was known for his quick-witted and blunt sense of humor, which resonated with a lot of people. After leaving Saturday Night Live, he joined In Living Color which was canceled a month later.

After that, he starred in the 1993 Comedy movie that he wrote, CB4, which grossed $18 million on a budget of $6 million.

His big breakthrough came when he performed his second HBO special in 1996, Bring the Pain, winning two Emmy Awards in the process.

From there, he would go on to land roles in blockbusters like Grown Ups and Madagascar, cementing his reputation as one of the funniest and most successful comedians around.

Chris Rock Net Worth

Earning more than $50 million annually during his best years, Chris Rock has demonstrated his consistent ability to draw crowds and deliver stellar performance time after time.

Between 2016 and 2017, he earned $60 million, making him the highest-paid comedian in the world for that year.

This was largely thanks to his Netflix deal which he signed for $40 million on October 30, 2016, for a total of two specials, Chris Rock: Tamborine and Chris Rock: Selective Outrage.

In 2018, he earned $30 million, half of his previous year’s income, but still a fortune in itself.

Despite his net worth currently sitting at $60 million, this figure could’ve been much larger had it not been for his divorce from his ex-wife in 2016 in which she could have reportedly received as much as $40 million.

One of Rock’s most successful acting endeavors is his time on the set of the Madagascar movie franchise as the voice of Marty the Zebra.

For Madagascar 3 alone which grossed $746.9 million, Rock reportedly made a cool $5 million for his role in the movie.

As for his role in the successful two-part movie Grown Ups, Rock was paid approximately $1.5 million for his role in the first movie which grossed $271 million in 2010 on a budget of $80 million.

While his salary for the second movie is undisclosed, it’s believed he was offered $2 million to $3 million to reappear in the sequel that performed similarly as the first, grossing $247 million in 2013 on the same budget.
