Amy Schumer has just made history, as she’s the first woman EVER to be named on the Forbes Top 10 list of highest paid comedians.
The comedienne and actress landed in fourth place on the prestigious list, behind Kevin Hart, Jerry Seinfeld and Terry Fator – with earnings of an estimated $17 million between June 2015 and June 2016.
Amy was the first female to land in the top 10 thanks to her blockbuster hit Trainwreck, her sell-out international tour, her Comedy Central show Inside Amy Schumer, her $10.4 million deal for her debut book The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo – as well as advertising deals with Old Navy and Bud Light.
