adam enfroy

Adam Enfroy is an extremely successful internet entrepreneur, who transformed his personal blog into a powerhouse B2B media company in just a few short years. Having struggled for many years as a blogger, he finally “cracked the code” for creating a successful online business, allowing him to rapidly grow his ventures and his wealth. So, that’s exactly what we’ll be highlighting on this page, the net worth Adam Enfroy has managed to build for himself over the years, the earning power of his current fortune, and how he built it.

So, if you’re looking to learn a bit more about Adam Enfroy, some of his success insights, as well as his financial position, then let’s dive right in:

What Is Adam Enfroy’s Net Worth?

Adam Enfroy Net Worth

First things first, Adam Enfroy’s growing wealth is new to him. Just a few years back (in 2019) he was making nearly six-figures working for a digital agency, but barely had enough left over after paying all of his expenses to put $500 aside for wealth accumulation.

So, his net worth was not in the millions. That said, his revenue has been on hyperdrive over the past few years, and by the end of 2020 he started having plenty of left over money to create a small fortune for himself.

Thus, as of 2025, Adam Enfroy’s net worth is approximately $12 million. With the growth of his brand and the scaling of his diverse business operations in the past couple of years, his net worth has grown dramatically, and will likely continue to grow.

How Much Does Adam Enfroy Make Per Year?

In the past Adam Enfroy would self-disclose his monthly earnings on his website AdamEnfroy.com. However, in 2021 he stopped publishing his monthly income reports.

That said, his latest reference as to how much his business makes was around the $4.5 million dollar mark.[1] Which is what his three businesses brought in 2023

That said, Adam Enfroy makes roughly $435K per month from his businesses, and his net worth can earn him an additional $40K per month (with a conservative 4% yield). As such, we put Adam Enfroy’s combined annual income at around $5.7 million per year.

Note: this is an estimated (but very possible) earnings metric based off the earning power of Adam Enfroy’s net worth and his estimated business income combined. This calculation is for entertainment purposes only and is only an estimate. Methodology

Fun Adam Enfroy Facts:

  • Adam Enfroy has 106K Instagram followers, 9K Twitter followers, 145K YouTube subscribers, and 5.6K linkedIn followers. As such, his grand total of social media following of 265K followers.

  • Adam is the founder of AdamEnfroy.com and the Co-founder of Blog Growth Engine.
  • Adam Enfroy was born in Michigan, worked in Texas, was married in Turkey, and now lives in Florida.

How Did Adam Enfroy Build His Fortune?

After graduating from college, Adam spent a few years making money as a digital marketing consultant. He then landed a few digital marketing roles while in Michigan, and then moved to Austin, TX after being hired to work for BigCommerce’s marketing department.[2]

Adam made an instant impact for the company and was promoted after just 11 months as the company’s Affiliate Partnership Manager. However, despite earning over six-figures, Adam felt the urge to break out on his own.

After noticing how much money affiliate marketers were making, and getting to see first-hand how they worked their marketing magic, he chose to start his own online business in 2019. His success was slow at first, but after a few months of tightening up his business strategy, he found success.

After just nine months at the helm of his own ship, he was bringing in over $35 per month. Five months later he was at $45K per month.

Three more months would pass, and he scaled his business revenue to $80K per month. By early 2021 Adam would earn his first million dollars. And his revenue would continue to grow over the years, with last year’s revenue being at $5.5 million alone.[3]

Here’s what Adam Enfroy’s annual income has looked like over the years, and where it is projected to go:

YEAR INCOME GROWTH RATE
2019$100KStart
2020$200K100%
2021$1.5 Million800%
2022$4.2 Million200%
2023$4.9 Million17%
2024$5.5 Million2%
2025$5.7 Million3.6%

So, Adam has built his wealth by leveraging his expert knowledge of the digital marketing space, to create his own online business, which earns much of its revenue from affiliate sales, partnerships, courses, and ad revenue.

That said, Adam built his fortune via specialized marketing skills and hustle. However, if he intends to keep his fortune, he’ll need to follow the steps outlined in these wealth building resources:

STEVEN SPIELBERG’S NET WORTH

steven spielberg net worth

Steven Spielberg is without question one of the most successful filmmakers of all-time. He’s directed some of the most well-known and awe-inspiring films in history, including classics like ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark’, ‘Jaws’, ‘Schindler’s List’, ‘E.T’, and ‘Saving Private Ryan’ just to name a few. Spielberg is a moving-making powerhouse, having directed over 34 hit films, and winning three academy awards, he’s managed to build for himself an impressive and sizeable fortune. So, that’s exactly what this page aims to highlight, Steven Spielberg’s net worth, and his estimated annual earning power.

What Is Steven Spielberg’s Net Worth?

steven spielberg net worth

Steven Spielberg’s net worth in 2017 according to Forbes was approximately $3.7 billion. With over $200 million of his net worth tied up in real estate these days, the bulk of his fortune is most likely in assets that have grown at the average annual growth rate of the markets between 7 and 12%.[1]

As such, Steven’s Spielberg’s net worth in 2025 is estimated at approximately $7 billion.

How Much Does Steven Spielberg Make?

Having netted $360 million from Jurassic Park, which grossed $1.03 billion, we can estimate his cut from movies to be at around 35%. Of course this is just an estimate, but if it’s accurate, it mean’s Spielberg has earned at least $3.7 billion from his movies over the past 51 years.

Having grossed over $10 billion for his existing productions, he’s managed to keep a good chunk of this money for himself.

That said, according to Parade, Steven Spielberg’s average annual income is around $150 million per year.[2] But, we couldn’t confirm how they got that number.

So, here is our own baseline income for Steven Spielberg based on the earning power of his net worth alone. To get this number, Spielberg would first need to move all of $7 billion net worth into an income generating asset (like REITS or Dividend Stocks). Then we must infer that Spielberg is a savvy enough investor to earn at least a 4% dividend payout on his fortune, which is doable considering 3 to 5% is the historical average payout for conservative assets.

Thus, Steven Spielberg’s baseline annual income would easily translate into $280 million per year. Not bad for never having to lift a finger again to earn himself a buck.

Here’s a further breakdown of these numbers:

So what is Will Smith’s net worth?  Well, according to various net worth sources on the net, his net worth is approximately $350 million. However, those figures are outdated as they’ve haven’t changed since 2020. Of course assets don’t remain stagnant, so we’ve recalculated Will smith’s net worth.

As such, per our research and analysis, along with our asset recalculation methodology, Will Smith’s Net Worth as of 2025 is now estimated at $390 million.[1]  It is estimated that $100 million of his net worth is tied up in the Real Estate he owns around the world.

So, he’s not a billionaire yet, but, with the right investments and a handful of additional projects on the silver screen he may just get there within the next decade or so.

How Much Does Will Smith Make?

According to Forbes [2], despite the pandemic in 2020-2021, Will Smith managed to earn $44.5 million. Of course, this is only an estimate, but he likely earned a similar amount in 2023.

That said, Will Smith’s 2025 earnings are still ongoing, especially considering he is constantly creating project after project.  But, 2025 is looking like a pretty big year for Smith, with the release of his updated Bad Boys movie, ‘Bad Boys – Ride or Die’, which grossed over $400 million at the box office across the globe.

However, even without these figures, we still plan on providing you with how much money, hypothetically speaking, Will Smith makes a year from his net worth alone.

These money metrics will be based off Will Smith’s known net worth of $390 million. So, if you’ve ever wondered how much Will Smith makes per day, month, or even a year, this metric we are providing below will give you a conservative (and very possible) estimate.

To get to this number, we will have to presume Will Smith’s investing acumen is on par with an average investor. In other words, capable enough to earn an annual 4% yield on his combined $390 million fortune (Note: 4% is an extremely reasonable return to expect, especially considering historical returns on safe investments have typically fallen between the 3% to 5% range [3]).

With that said here is what we came up with. I Will Smith hypothetically liquidated all of his assets and invested them into a handful of stocks or REITS that yielded at the very least a conservative 4% dividend yield, he could easily be earning himself a cool $15.6 million a year to do absolutely nothing.

Note: this is a hypothetical (but very possible) earnings Metric based off the earning power of Will Smith’s net worth’s alone.  It does not include how much he potentially earns from his current projects, sponsorships, business revenue, or social media, etc. Again, this calculation is for entertainment purposes only. Methodology

Will Smith’s Social Media Influence

As far as social media goes, Will Smith allegedly earns on average $107,500 per post just on TikTok [3] with his 73.9 million followers there. However, he likely earns much more on other platforms he is on as he has 65.7 million fans on Instagram, 9.8 million subscribers on YouTube, and 116.5 million on Facebook.

This means Will Smith’s total social media reach is approximately 265.9 million. Which really means, for all intents and purposes, that his earning power per social media post is roughly $2.5 million dollars accordingly to current social media marketing prices.

Key Facts:

  • Will Smith became a millionaire before the age of 18 as a rapper.
  • Will Smith’s full legal name is Williard Christopher Smith Jr.
  • Smith was the first Hip-Hop start to have ever been nominated for the Academy Awards

How Did Will Smith Become So Successful?

But before he was a big A-list actor pulling in $100 million dollars to star in a movies like ‘Men in Black 3’ [4], he found huge success in the popular T.V. Series ‘The Fresh Prince of Bel Air’ in the 90’s.

And before that, he was a rapper. In fact, Will Smith actually became a millionaire even before the age of 18, with his early success within the rap duo known as DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince.

With his long list of accomplishments, Will Smith has managed to achieve much success as though it came easily to him. However this is not that case.

True, Will Smith has what’s seems to be a natural charisma that people instantly fall in love with, but his success comes down to his dedication to mastery.

Success In His Own Words

After studying a handful of his most famous comments on success, and closely observing his career and his success journey, we can confidently say that the traits most responsible for Will Smith’s success come down to the following: Self-Discipline, Mindset, Self-Belief, and Charisma.

Of course, you don’t have to just take our word for it, see for yourself:

10 PROVEN HABITS OF SELF-MADE MILLIONAIRES TO BUILD WEALTH

Published

on

proven habits of self-made millionaires

From sleeping in their cars to building billion-dollar empires, self-made millionaires like John Paul DeJoria and Oprah Winfrey prove that wealth isn’t just about luck—it’s about habits. These individuals didn’t inherit their fortunes; they built them through discipline, strategy, and a relentless drive to succeed. At The STRIVE, we’re dedicated to helping dreamers like you turn ambition into action.

That’s why we’ve compiled this list of 10 proven habits of self-made millionaires to help you build wealth in 2025 and beyond. Whether you’re starting from scratch or aiming to level up, these habits are practical, time-tested, and accessible to anyone willing to put in the work. Ready to ignite your financial success? Let’s dive into the millionaire mindset and uncover the habits that can transform your future.

1. Set Clear, Daily Goals

Self-made millionaires don’t wander aimlessly—they plan their success. Elon Musk, for instance, is known for breaking down massive goals (like colonizing Mars) into daily tasks. This habit keeps them focused and productive.

How to Apply It: Start each day by writing down 3–5 specific, actionable goals. Use tools like The STRIVE Journal to track progress and stay accountable. For example, set a goal to save $100 this week or read one chapter of a finance book. Over time, these small wins compound into massive results.

Why It Works: Daily goals create clarity and momentum, aligning your actions with your long-term vision of financial freedom.

2. Commit to Continuous Learning

Warren Buffett, one of the world’s richest self-made billionaires, spends hours daily reading—up to 500 pages! Millionaires know that knowledge is power, especially in a fast-changing world like 2025’s economy.

How to Apply It: Dedicate 30–60 minutes daily to learning. Read books like Rich Dad Poor Dad (a favorite on The STRIVE’s book recommendation list), listen to podcasts like The Millionaire Mindset, or take online courses on platforms like Coursera. Stay updated on market trends, investments, or skills relevant to your industry.

Here’s Why It Works: Continuous learning sharpens your skills and uncovers new opportunities, giving you an edge in wealth-building.

3. Network Strategically

Daymond John, the Shark Tank star and FUBU founder, credits his success to building relationships with the right people. Millionaires don’t just network—they connect with mentors, peers, and influencers who push them forward.

How to Apply It: Attend industry events, join online communities (like LinkedIn groups), or reach out to someone you admire with a thoughtful message. For inspiration, read about John Paul DeJoria’s journey on The STRIVE—he built his empire through strategic partnerships.

Why It Works: A strong network opens doors to opportunities, from business deals to mentorship, that accelerate wealth creation.

4. Invest Early and Consistently

Self-made millionaires like Barbara Corcoran built wealth by investing early, even with small amounts. Whether it’s real estate, stocks, or their own businesses, they let compound interest work its magic.

How to Apply It: Start investing now, no matter how small. Open a low-cost brokerage account, contribute to a 401(k), or explore real estate crowdfunding. Aim to invest at least 10–15% of your income consistently. Check out our personal finance tips for budgeting strategies to free up cash for investments.

Here’s Why It Works: Early investments grow exponentially over time, turning modest savings into substantial wealth.

5. Embrace Failure

Steve Harvey, whose success story we’ve covered at The STRIVE, faced countless rejections before becoming a household name. Millionaires view failure as feedback, not a dead end.

How to Apply It: Reframe setbacks as learning opportunities. If a business idea flops, analyze what went wrong and adjust. Keep a “failure journal” to document lessons learned and how you’ll improve. This mindset builds resilience, a key trait for financial success.

Why It Works: Embracing failure fuels persistence, helping you overcome obstacles on the path to wealth.

quotes from self-made millionaires

6. Master Time Management

Time is a millionaire’s most valuable asset. People like Jeff Bezos prioritize high-impact tasks and eliminate distractions to maximize productivity.

How to Apply It: Use the 80/20 rule (Pareto Principle) to focus on the 20% of tasks that drive 80% of your results. Try time-blocking: allocate specific hours for work, learning, and personal growth. Apps like Notion or Trello can help you stay organized.

Reasoning: Effective time management ensures you’re working smarter, not just harder, to achieve your financial goals.

7. Cultivate Discipline

Discipline separates dreamers from doers. Self-made millionaires like Oprah Winfrey stick to routines, even when motivation fades. Whether it’s waking up early or sticking to a budget, discipline drives results.

How to Apply It: Create a daily routine that aligns with your goals. For example, wake up at 6 AM to exercise, plan your day, and review your finances. Use our motivational quotes for a daily dose of inspiration to stay on track.

Why It Works: Discipline builds consistency, turning habits into long-term wealth-building behaviors.

8. Diversify Income Streams

Millionaires rarely rely on a single income source. Kevin O’Leary, for example, invests in businesses, real estate, and media ventures to spread risk and grow wealth.

How to Apply It: Explore side hustles like freelancing, e-commerce, or content creation. If you’re new to this, start small—sell a skill on Upwork or launch a blog inspired by The STRIVE’s entrepreneurship tips. Reinvest profits into new ventures.

Why It Works: Multiple income streams provide financial security and accelerate wealth accumulation.

9. Practice Mindfulness and Mental Health

Arianna Huffington, founder of The Huffington Post, emphasizes mindfulness as a key to success. Millionaires prioritize mental clarity to make sound decisions and stay focused.

How to Apply It: Incorporate mindfulness practices like meditation or journaling into your routine. Apps like Headspace or a simple gratitude journal can reduce stress and boost focus. Reflect on your “why” to stay motivated, as we discuss in our personal growth articles.

Reasoning: A clear mind enhances decision-making, helping you navigate financial challenges with confidence.

10. Give Back to Build Forward

Self-made millionaires like Andrew Carnegie, whose quotes inspire us at The STRIVE, believed in giving back. Philanthropy not only creates impact but also builds networks and personal fulfillment.

How to Apply It: Donate time, skills, or money to causes you care about. Volunteer at a local nonprofit or mentor someone starting their journey. Even small acts, like sharing knowledge, can create ripple effects.

Why It Works: Giving back fosters goodwill, strengthens your reputation, and attracts opportunities that align with your values.

Your Roadmap to Wealth in 2025

Building wealth isn’t about overnight success—it’s about adopting the habits of those who’ve already made it. From setting daily goals to giving back, these 10 habits of self-made millionaires are your blueprint for financial success in 2025. Start small, stay consistent, and let these practices compound over time.

KHABIB NURMAGOMEDOV NET WORTH + HOW MUCH HE MAKES

Published

on

Kabib Nurmagomedov Net Worth

Khabib Nurmagomedov has an estimated net worth of $45 million. Which is an impressive amount of money, even for a world renowned Russian mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter.

Of course, some may argue that because Khabib is currently the longest-reigning UFC Lightweight Champion, who has legions of UFC fans who believe is the greatest fighter in UFC history, that his fortunes should be even larger. Many sources also have him listed as the best pound-per-pound fighter across all weight classes. And with achievements like this, riches and a large net worth are well deserved.

What is Khabib Nurmagomedov’s Net Worth?

Khabib Nurmagomedov Net Worth

So, if you’re looking for even more insight on Khabib Nurmagomedov’s Net Worth, you’ll find it here. That said, there other some unofficial sources that claim Nurmagomedov’s net worth to be around $100 million. And then there’s a few $40 million estimates by a handful of solid sources, including one that Celebrity Net Worth placed on his net worth back in late 2020.[1]

However, it’s important to know that we calculated the data drawn from various public sources in conjunction with the performance of the markets and the various known asset classes he’s invested in. So, our research and analysis is up-to-date. Which is why we’ve listed Khabib Nurmagomedov’s Net Worth as of 2024 at roughly $45 million.

How Much Does Khabib Nurmagomedov Make?

Most people want to know what Khabib is doing these days to make money, and how much he makes a year. So, we’ll attempt to answer the question.

That said, establishing Nurmagomedov’s 2024 earnings is even more challenging then establishing his net worth, especially since he retired in 2020. However, for the year of 2020 he was the highest paid UFC fighter, bringing in $6.09 million.[2] This amount doesn’t include money he earned from sponsorships, speaking gigs, or his other business dealings.

With that said, just because we can’t decipher how much Khabib Nurmagomedov officially makes these days, doesn’t mean we can’t estimate how much could likely make if he relied on the earning power of his net worth alone.

So, here’s how much he could make if he decided to pay himself from the earning power of his entire net worth. Assuming Nurmagomedov decided to take his entire $45 million nest egg and invest it into a handful of investments yielding a combined 4.5% dividend payout (between 3 -5 % is consider to be average yield on stable investments), his annual earnings could be $2.02 million. This comes out to around $169,000 a month, which is not a bad income for early retirement.

Per Sec:$0.06

Note: this is a hypothetical (but very possible) earnings Metric for Khabib Nurmagomedov based off of his net worth’s earning power alone.  It does not include his earnings from ongoing projects, sponsorships, social media, etc. This calculation is for entertainment purposes only. Methodology

Fun Facts:

  • Khabib’s Social Media Followers: Khabib Nurmagomedov has managed to pull in massive amount of social media followers over the years. And according to one source, he managed to earn over $570,000 from just one of his social media platforms when it was only half the size it is now.[3] In short, his social media platforms likely have the ability to earn him much more today.
  • So, how many social media followers does Khabib have? At the time of this article’s publication, he has approximately 42.59 million combined social media followers.
  • Khabib The Bear Wrestler: When Khabib was younger, his father would have him wrestler young bears as a method to improve his strength and confidence.
  • He Wasn’t Always a Winner: Before Khabib would hit his stride to go undefeated in the UFC, he did his fair share of losing. In fact, when he was in his early teens, he would regularly come in 5th and 6th place when he competed in local and regional competitions.
  • Khabib Pays Taxes Too: Khabib once had his assets seized due to taxes owed; however, he eventually paid his tax debt to the tune of over $3 million to his countries tax collectors.

How Did Khabib Nurmagomedov Become So Successful?

Khabib Net Worth Quote

Khabib Nurmagomedov has managed to build his large net worth primarily due to his performance in the Octagon. He’s managed to also make quite a bit of money outside of the ring, but hands down, his bread and butter has been his fighting prowess.

So, how did he become so successful? Well, he decided to become the best fighter and the world, and committed to doing everything that was necessary to out perform his opponents in the ring. He mastered multiple fighting styles (wrestling, sambo, judo, etc.), and trained like his life depended on it.

After studying a handful of his best quotes on success, and closely observing his career and his success journey, we can confidently say that the traits most responsible for Nurmagomedov’s success comes down to the following: Self-Discipline, Faith, Ambition.

But don’t just take our word for it, see for yourself:

1. “I train, eat, sleep, and repeat.” – Khabib Nurmagomedov

2. “When Allah is with you, nobody can beat you, nobody. You have to believe this.” – Khabib Nurmagomedov

3. “I was always striving for more. I thought to myself, “If I want to be the best in the world, it was not enough to train more than anyone in my city or Russia. I knew that somewhere on the other side of the world, in Brazil, Australia, or Ireland – there was people who trained. And we might face each other on the biggest stage sometime.”

The result? The greatest light weight UFC fighting history.

So, that’s exactly what this page will be highlighting, Jennifer Lopez’s net worth and her current earning power potential. And just for good measure, we’ll also include a few additional fun facts related to her success and impressive achievements. So, let’s dive in.

What Is Jennifer Lopez’s Net Worth

jennifer lopez net worth 2023

Jennifer’s disciplined approach to business, and her consistent ability to produce relevant and highly entertaining art has made her one of the wealthiest self-made women in the world.

As of 2025, her efforts have helped her amass an estimated net worth of over $400 million.[1] With the many films, music productions, shows, endorsements, and business ventures, it’s not difficult to see why she’s worth so much.

How Much Does J.LO make per year?

If you’re wonder how much Jennifer Lopez makes per year, some sources have also estimated her annual earnings to be around $40 million, and as long as Jennifer continues on with her businesses and entertainment, she’ll likely to continue to make this much and more.

However, considering Jennifer’s business and projects change year to year, it is difficult to pinpoint an exact annual income for the pop-icon. Even though we can’t provide you with a rock-solid salary for J.LO we still plan on providing you with her hypothetical annual income. We’ll call it, her money metrics.

These money metrics are based off Jennifer’s known net worth of $400 million alone. So, if you’ve ever wondered how much Jennifer Lopez makes per day, per month, or even a year, our metric below will give you a rough estimate of her minimum take-home pay.

To produce these figures, we have to assume Jennifer is a savvy enough investor to earn an annual 4% yield on her combined $400 million net worth ( FYI, 4% is a reasonable return to expect, especially considering historical returns on safe investments tend to fall between the 3% to 5% range [2]). So, if Jennifer decided to retire early and she hypothetically liquidated all of her assets and invested them into a handful of stocks or REITS that guarantee her a modest 4% dividend yield, J.LO could easily be  earning $16 million every single year.

How Did Jennifer Lopez Become So Successful?

Jennifer Lopez is a prime example of a person who has managed to achieve great success by trusting her gut and following her heart. She decided at a young age to follow her dreams, even though it was challenging.

Lopez took dance lessons from an early age and dreamed of fame. She got her start in film when she was just 16, gaining a small role in the film My Little Girl. But her big break into the entertainment industry came after she made the cut to become one of In Living Color’s hype dancers known as the “Fly Girls”.

JLO Net Worth Quote

Being the ambitious Bronx girl that she was, she attempted the impossible, and made her move to become a Hollywood star. And in time, she reached her aim after starring in Jack alongside Robin Williams, however her big Hollywood break came after she snagged the lead role in the movie Selena.

Jennifer Lopez would ride this wave of fame all the way to the top. She didn’t stop with that single movie, and instead continued to pursue opportunities in other movies, in making her own music, and eventually in building her own celebrity business.

In short, J.LO hustled her way to success.

So, that’s exactly what this page will be highlighting, Kevin Hart’s net worth and his current earning power. We’ll also include a few Kevin Hart fun facts related to his life, success and potential. So, let’s dive in.

KEVIN HART NET WORTH

kevin hart net worth 2023

So, what is the net worth of Kevin Hart? As of 2025, Hart is worth approximately $470 million. However as his popularity rises, and as he continues to flex his business muscles, like his founding of Hartbeat media (currently valued at $650 million), his fortune will only continue to grow.

In fact, we predict Kevin Hart will be a billionaire in just a few short years, especially considering how fast his net worth has grown since 2010; having gone from a net worth of roughly $9 million to $470 million in just 13 short years.[1]

Just in case you were wondering, this comes out to a whopping 5,122% growth rate over the past 13 years. To put it another way, this comes out to a growth rate of roughly 35.5% year over year. Anyway you slice it, it’s extremely impressive!

How Much Does Kevin Hart Make a Year?

With a growth rate like this, you probably want to know what Kevin Hart’s salary is, or how much he makes per year. Well, on average, Hart makes between $50 to $70 million per year in income. This is a conservative estimate based on Hart’s history of having some years that brought in $87.5 million, and some years that brought in $65 million.

So, our cautious estimate of how much Kevin Hart makes is around the $60 million per year mark. Having said that, here’s how much Kevin Hart could make if he decided to hang up his hat and retire today.

To get this estimate, we must assume he’ll take his entire $470 million net worth, liquidate it, and then invest that money in an asset that pays out on average 4% annually. Why 4%? Because 3% to 5% is what average returns on safe investments have been historically.[2]

That said, Kevin Hart could easily make $18.8 million per year starting today, if he cashed it all out and retired. This also comes out to around $1.57 million per month. That’s not bad for an early retirement plan!
