Rebel Wilson – $2.5 Million
Relatively new to the comedy scene, Rebel Wilson brings an Aussie twist to her comedy. Who can forget Wilson’s hilarious antics in Pitch Perfect, where she brought us “horizontal running” (those of us who are fitness-challenged might want to give it a try), or Bridesmaids, where she stole the show as Kristen Wiig’s absurdly intrusive roommate? Sure, she has only made a paltry $2.5 million so far, but Rebel Wilson has stolen our hearts – we’re sure there’s lots more success (and $$) in her future.
Ellen DeGeneres – $360 Million
Ellen DeGeneres – we don’t think it’s an exaggeration to call her the queen of daytime talk show comedy. Her interviews, antics, and ridiculous dancing on The Ellen DeGeneres Show bring in the viewers – and the moolah. DeGeneres is also a leader in social issues, and gives a huge amount of her income to charity. In addition to her hilarious show and social leadership, Ellen DeGeneres has an addicting game app called Heads Up – if you like laughing and having fun, I highly recommend downloading it before any party.
