Chris Rock — Net Worth and Career Earnings
Chris Rock has an estimated net worth of $60 million as of 2026. He was slapped on stage by Will Smith at the 2022 Academy Awards after making a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith's shaved head — one of the most-discussed moments in Oscar history. His Selective Fire Netflix special (2024) addressed the slap directly and generated enormous viewership at approximately $40 million — Netflix's per-special rate for top comedy acts. His landmark specials Bigger and Blacker (1999) and Never Scared (2004) established him as one of stand-up's most important voices. A significant 2016 divorce settlement reduced his net worth from a higher peak.
