Amy Schumer has remained busy with money-making roles over years, including 2015’s Trainwreck, alongside Bill Hader; 2017’s Snatched with Goldie Hawn; and 2018’s I Feel Pretty, which co-starred Michelle Williams and Emily Ratajkowski. These are the kind of gigs that have helped the comedic star build up a fortune that sits at around $16 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
While a fair share of that amount surely comes from her movie deals, and she obviously made a lot of money thanks to her Netflix special — Variety notes that her pay was “significantly more” than the $11 million she was originally offered from the streaming service — she also earned a surprising amount of money for her biography, The Girl With the Lower Back Tattoo.
“Simon & Schuster’s imprint Gallery Books reportedly paid Amy $9 million for the rights to her [book] which was published in 2016,” Celebrity Net Worth explains. As impressive as that is, what makes it even more notable is that “at $9 million, Amy now officially holds the third-place record for highest book advance of all time, behind Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton (#1 at $15 million and #2 at $14 million).” Apparently, this is one star who’s able to make money by being funny on-screen and in print.
