Dillon said, “You are now the wealthiest comedian really, other than Seinfeld that’s ever lived. That’s pretty much the truth.”

As per ‘Celebrity Net Worth‘, the Spotify podcaster currently has a net worth of $120 million. In comparison, Kevin Hart has a net worth of a whopping $450 million.

However, Seinfeld defeats the comedians together with a huge net worth of $950 million. He thus remains one of the wealthiest comedians.
