How Steve Harvey made his money

Harvey built his career in stages. He started in stand-up comedy, moved into sitcoms, then became a radio host, game show host, author and producer. Each stage added a new stream of income.

In the late 1990s he toured with Cedric the Entertainer, D.L. Hughley and Bernie Mac as part of The Original Kings of Comedy. The tour grossed about $37 million in 1997 and 1998 and was turned into a Spike Lee film in 2000. He gave his last stand-up show in August 2012 to focus on television. Today, most of his income comes from long-term hosting contracts in radio and television rather than live comedy.
