Um, Trevor Noah’s Net Worth Will Make Your Jaw Drop

Anyone who watched The Daily Show knows that Trevor Noah has mastered the art of balancing clever jokes with current affairs. But aside from keeping us all informed and entertained on Comedy Central in his previous TV hosting gig, the 40-year-old comedian has also released a New York Times bestseller (Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood), appeared in films and even dabbled in executive producing. The comedian has also hosted the Grammy Awards for four consecutive years, having also scored a total of three Grammy nominations for Best Comedy Album. And while the host for the 2025 ceremony has yet to be confirmed, he'll likely (hopefully) return for a fifth year.

I'd go as far as to say that Taylor Swift would agree, because at the 2024 ceremony, she praised him in person for doing such a stellar job. In a TikTok clip, the "Bad Blood" singer tells him, "You did a beautiful job tonight, you really did. I don't know how you do it. I’ve seen you running around all night, I don’t know how you do it."

Considering his successful run, it makes sense that he's raked in some major dough—$100 million, to be precise. Here's everything I know about Trevor Noah’s net worth (and how he's made his moolah!).

Noah's earnings from his children's book, Into the Uncut Grass—which he released in October 2024—haven't been made public, but I do know that it holds a near-perfect rating on Amazon, and that it's already listed as one of the Best Children's Books of 2024.

According to Penguin Random House, the book "is a gorgeously illustrated and moving modern fable for readers of all ages about forgiveness, acceptance and the secret to solidarity." While discussing the book with NPR, Noah said, "When I think about the internal adventure or the internal world that exists in a child's imagination, you know, I often think to myself how sad it is that we lose so much of it. And this book really is a tale of a young boy who does not want to do what his mother has told him to do, which is make the bed."

He added "He could be me, but I mean, he could be anyone, really. It's more the idea of the child than the child themselves. It's something that connects us in such a beautiful way."

According to Ticketmaster, Noah did over 75 sold-out North American shows during his Loud & Clear Tour 2019—one that had to be extended to 2020 due to popular demand. And for his 2021 Back To Abnormal World Tour, Noah had to follow suit by adding 21 new shows in 2022.

Meanwhile, per The Hollywood Reporter, Billboard Boxscore revealed that Noah’s comedy tours had grossed over $14 million by 2019. I'm sure that number has already skyrocketed, considering the massive success of his Back To Abnormal World Tour and his most recent show, Off the Record, which took him across the country until May 2024. Oh, and did I mention that he recently announced two additional comedy shows in New York for December—one of which is already sold out?

Keep up the amazing work, Trevor.
