Chris Rock ranks No. 2 on Forbes’ list of top-earning comedians with $42 million banked between June 2008 and June 2009.
Over the course of the year, he added a slew of big-screen flicks to his résumé and released a new top-rated HBO comedy special ("Kill the Messenger") and secured another book deal with Grand Central Publishing.
This fall, his TV show "Everybody Hates Chris," which he created and narrated for the CW, will begin airing in syndication. Even more lucrative, Rock hit the road for his first worldwide stand-up tour, which touched down in the UK, Australia and South Africa as well as various locations in the States.
Jerry Seinfeld tops the list, with $85 million earned during the 12-month period. Ventriloquist Jeff Dunham, who collected an estimated $30 million over the course of the year, ranks third.
