The popular South African comedian, actor, television host, and radio DJ, Trevor Noah became famous after he replaced Jon Stewart as the host for Comedy Central's "The Daily Show". In September 2022, he announced that he would be stepping down from his hosting duties on "The Daily Show" after seven long years. Over the years, Noah has established himself as one of the highest-earning stand-up comedians. He is worth a whopping $100 million as of 2023.

His mammoth net worth is mostly attributed to his years of hosting "The Daily Show". Noah is also establishing himself as an author. He wrote the #1 New York Times bestseller—an autobiographical comedy book, “Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood”, which was published in 2016. 

In the initial years of hosting, his salary was around $5 to $8 million, which was nothing in comparison to Jon Stewart's $25 million. However, by the end of his tenure, Noah was making an annual salary of $16 million. Apart from this, he has also made a ton of money from touring in 2019. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Noah's comedy tour generated a revenue of $14 million. Noah has also earned some big bucks from hosting the Grammys in 2021.
