Kevin Hart, widely recognized as his generation’s leading actor and comedian, has also demonstrated his sharp business acumen, earning him the tag of a successful entrepreneur. His financial prowess has resulted in a substantial net worth, making him one of the wealthiest individuals in the entertainment industry. He has an estimated net worth of around $450 million.
Beyond the considerable magnitude of his net worth, what is truly remarkable is the rapid pace at which the actor has accumulated his wealth. A mere two years ago, his net worth was around $150 million. During the peak of the global pandemic, Hart purportedly added $65 million to his wealth. But recently, the actor spoke about his bad investments that involve his close friends.
Kevin Hart’s Worst Investments Are With His Close Friends
Kevin Hart appeared on James Corden’s The Late Late Show on CBS to promote his latest film, Me Time. Hart played the show’s infamous Truth or Eat It! game, where he was asked to answer a set of very sensitive questions or eat a disgusting item.
During the game, Corden inquired about Hart’s diverse investment portfolio. The actor was prompted to divulge the name of the business ventures he considers his most ill-fated. Corden asked,
“Besides your own companies, you are also known to have invested in other businesses, including an energy drink, a health and fitness program, and a car buying app. What is the worst business investment you are currently involved in?”
In response, Kevin Hart evaded partaking in a gastronomic challenge featuring an array of repulsive foods, using his wit to deliver a humorous retort. The comedian told Corden that such ventures often involve investing in the businesses of close friends, which he humorously characterized as “an endless pit of bankruptcy.“
Did Kevin Hart Take A Subtle Dig At The Rock?
Kevin Hart is close friends with his Jumanji co-star Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson. Both actors have collaborated on five films, two of which were the latest Jumanji titles. Their film, Jumanji: The Next Level, raked in around $800 million. It’s possible few of Hart’s bad investments involved Johnson in the mix.
With a net worth of around $800 million, Dwayne Johnson towers over his Jumanji co-stars in terms of wealth. While Hart comes in second, his net worth is around half of Johnson’s impressive fortune, highlighting the significant disparity in their financial standings.
During the interview, Corden also asked Hart to evaluate the acting prowess of his previous colleagues, Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, and Nick Jonas. The actor found himself without an escape route and chose to have a serving of “pudding and chunks of tuna, with a cinnamon stick and a fish egg garnish.“
Jumanji: The Next Level is available for streaming on Starz. It can also be rented or purchased on Amazon Instant Video.
