Move over Jerry Seinfeld, you've finally got some real competition. You see, every year since 2006, he has been the highest-paid comedian in America.

But his reign at the top ends this year. The new king of the mountain is Kevin Hart. And it's not even close.

Kevin made a whopping $87.5 million over the past year! That's compared to Seinfeld's $43.5 million.

The big reason for Kevin's success? It's his relentless touring.

Meanwhile, Amy Schumer became the first woman to ever make the list.

Here is the complete top 10:

  1. Kevin Hart - $87.5 million
  2. Jerry Seinfeld - $43.5 million
  3. Terry Fator - $21 million
  4. Amy Schumer - $17 million
  5. Jeff Dunham - $13.5 million

  7. Jim Gaffigan - $12.5 million
