Kevin Hart Shares His First Comedy Special Was A $750K Investment That Made Him A Profit Of Around $10M

“My next major investment was my first comedy special, ‘Laugh At My Pain,’ which I funded and presented theatrically,” Hart told the outlet. “I took the tour of money that I made and I said, ‘You know what? I’m going to invest in this and put it out because I feel like I can make a bigger return.’ It was about $750,000 to produce and put out, and I think it made 9 or $10 million. I received more than five times the money I invested. In my mind, I’m like, ‘OK, this puts me in a better position to navigate my corporation and company’s structure.’”
