That said, most comedians do truly consider their craft a labor of love. Many spend decades just scraping by as the black sheep who's constantly figuring out roundabout ways to ask relatives for money, with a good deal of them never really getting that big break. Though a select few–like the smart player on a rural Texas football team–manage to “get out.” And when they do, cash follows in stupidly hilarious amounts.
Here are the top earners from 2013 according to Forbes.com.
1. Jerry Seinfeld: $32 million
