Adam Hills – $5 Million

Adam Hills’ enviable net worth should not be surprising because of the hard work and dedication he has given to his craft. Comedy is no joke – it’s easier to make people cry than to make them laugh. It takes a lot of talent, which Hills has a lot of.

No wonder it was all uphill since his first appearance at the Sydney Comedy Store in 1989. An opportunity on breakfast radio on SAFM in Adelaide followed, but the comic soon realized he wanted to focus on doing standups. Hills has produced ten solo shows so far, which was rewarded with several nominations from the Edinburgh Comedy Awards.
