Tipping the charts at just 5'4" tall, comedian Kevin Hart's diminutive stature is undeniably offset by his impressive bankroll. Earning the title as the highest-paid comedian of 2016, Hart currently boasts a current net worth of a staggering $120 million. By pairing his decades-long success as a stand-up comic with his appeal as a top-billed actor in blockbusters like the Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle remake and Get Hard, the Philly-bred funnyman has secured his spot in Hollywood as an entertainer with indisputable staying power.
Thankfully, Hart has managed to stay grounded despite being surrounded by the common pitfalls of excess fame and fortune. Using his elevated status as a force for good, the 39-year-old has cultivated a multi-platform social media fan base of nearly 100 million followers that turn to his feed for its unending source of inspiration and motivation. Constantly stressing the importance of caring for both your physical and mental health, Hart's blinding positivity is an island in a sea of Instagram influencers and celebrities obsessed with the tangible trappings of wealth.
During an appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, Hart explained the motivation behind wanting to share his blessings with his fanbase, a sentiment also outlined in his memoir I Can't Make This Up: Life Lessons. "At the end of the day, I want people to be better," said the Ride Along star. "That's why I'm sharing this information. I don't wanna be successful by myself. There's enough success in the world for everybody. I think that if everybody adapts that mindset, then our world will ultimately become a better place. It takes people to speak up about being positive, about bringing people closer together...and that's what I do."
In addition to his focus on facing the world armed with a positive outlook, Hart also urges his followers to push themselves to reach their fitness goals. "Regardless of where you are, who you are, regardless of your shape, colour and size, anybody can get up and get out and better themselves,” said Hart, echoing the call-to-action of his #MoveWithHart initiative, backed by Nike. “This isn’t a race, it’s simply about motivating people to find the greatness within themselves and all I’m doing is I’m acting as a push. If you look good, you feel good; if you feel good, you do good."
