Chris Rock’s 2022 net worth has been revealed just as everyone is wondering what’s going on between him and Will Smith.
It should come as no surprise that the comedian has done quite well for himself. It should come as no surprise because he’s been around for decades. Not only that but he’s been quite successful for that whole time.
The Comedian’s Rise
The comedian began his career as a stand-up comic. In the beginning, he worked in New York City’s Catch a Rising Star club. Making everyone who came upon him laugh, he managed to break into acting with small roles in 1988’s I’m Gonna Git You Sucka as well as Miami Vice.
The career that has led to Chris Rock’s 2022 net worth to become so big started when Eddie Murphy caught one of the comedian’s nightclub shows and took him under his wing. Murphy eventually gave him his first blockbuster film role with Beverly Hills Cop II.
He then gained national attention when he joined the cast of Saturday Night Live in the early 90s, joining a slew of up-and-coming comics at the time, including Adam Sandler.
Eventually, the comedian and actor got popular enough that people wanted to know where he came from. That’s when he started the series – meaning he was the developer, writer and narrator for – the sitcom Everybody Hates Chris. That show ran from 2005 to 2009 and it was based on his early life.
Chris Rock has since starred in movies like the Madagascar film series, the Grown-Ups duology, and What To Expect When You’re Expecting. Over that time, he hasn’t had too many professional run-ins with Will Smith. However, he did appear on one episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Though he was just an up-and-coming actor at the time.
Interestingly enough, the two did seem to be at least friendly off screen. That was until the comedian made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith at the 2016 Oscars. Things began to turn sour. It appears Sunday’s joke about Will Smith’s wife was enough to push him over the edge.
Chris Rock 2022 Net Worth
The actor and comedian is not necessarily considered an “edgy” comic, though he’s managed to annoy people over the course of his career. However, he’s also managed to continue years of success, even when he’s taken some time off from time to time.
That’s why, according to Celebrity Net Worth, he’s worth around $60 million. That’s certainly enough money for the man to be able to buy more than enough ibuprofen to help him heal from the Oscars slap.
The real question is where does the Chris Rock and Will Smith feud go from here now that’s become so incredibly public.
