Kevin Hart's net worth is estimated at around $300 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth's most recent update, anchored to more than $639 million in cumulative earnings between 2015 and 2025 -- though other estimates run as high as $450 million, and Hart himself said in November 2025 that the commonly cited $400 million figure is "far off." His wealth comes from stand-up comedy tours, blockbuster films, his media company HartBeat (valued at $650 million), and a tequila brand.
Hart built his career through relentless stand-up touring and box-office hits like Ride Along and the Jumanji franchise, and received the prestigious Mark Twain Prize for American Humor in 2024. His career has also included setbacks: a 2019 withdrawal as Oscars host over old tweets, and a near-fatal car accident that same year.

Early Life
Kevin Darnell Hart was born on July 6, 1979, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He attended George Washington High School in Philadelphia and briefly enrolled at the Community College of Philadelphia before dropping out and working as a shoe salesman while pursuing stand-up comedy under the name "Lil Kev" at Philadelphia's Laff House. His early sets bombed badly -- he was booed offstage and once had chicken thrown at him -- before his reception improved on the comedy-competition circuit. His breakthrough came when Judd Apatow cast him in a recurring role on the TV series Undeclared in 2001.

Hart built a major box-office career with films including Think Like a Man (2012), Ride Along (2014) and its sequel, Central Intelligence (2016) with Dwayne Johnson, Night School (2018), the first film produced under his HartBeat Productions banner, and the Jumanji franchise reboot films (2017, 2019), playing Franklin "Mouse" Finbar. More recently, he starred in Me Time (2022) and the Netflix heist comedy Lift (2024).
2019 Oscars Withdrawal and Car Accident
Hart was announced as host of the 91st Academy Awards in December 2018 but withdrew two days later after backlash over homophobic tweets he had posted between 2010 and 2011; he later apologized.

Awards and Honors
Hart has won a BET Award for Best Actor (2012), an NAACP Image Award, multiple Teen Choice Awards, an MTV Movie Award, and a People's Choice Award, along with Grammy and Emmy nominations he has not converted into wins in those categories.
