Amy Schumer Cracks Top 10

Every year Forbes releases a list of highest earning comedians from the past year and every year it’s dominated with males. Well, this year we have ourselves our first female comedian to make the list! To no one’s surprise it is Amy Schumer and her comedic genius. She has stayed quite busy over the last year diving into many different projects.

While Kevin Hart being number one on the chart is quite the accomplishment, so is Schumer and being the first female to make Forbes’ top 10. She generated $17 million from June 2015 to June 2016. The majority of her income came from three different sources: “Inside Amy Schumer,” joining Aziz Ansari on tour and her recent book release.
