“I always felt an innate joy making people laugh,” Noah said in an interview with Harvard Business Review. “I always loved performing. And then somebody paid me to do it—as a profession. But I loved it before I earned any money, so I think it was always going to be my natural course.”
“South Africa is a wonderful place to begin a comedy career, but it’s a small country. At the time we’re talking about—though it’s changed dramatically in the years since—there was only so much you could do, only so many spaces to perform,” he said. “My goal was to do as much comedy as I could, and I’d always dreamed of performing elsewhere in the world. So I went to Australia, the U.K., Europe. But the one place that has a truly sustainable stand-up comedy market is the United States. It’s where you can do comedy full time, as your job and as your life.”
What is Trevor Noah's net worth in 2026?
Trevor Noah has an estimated net worth of $100 million in 2026, according to Celebrity Net Worth. He earned a large portion of it from his work on The Daily Show, but has also racked up millions from various comedy tours and specials, real-estate flips, his bestselling memoir, and his podcast.
“People don’t understand that I came to America from a country where I was really successful,” Noah told The Hollywood Reporter in 2019. “And I’m proud of South Africa because that’s where I made my fortune. I had my homes and my cars and my nice things, and my country gave that to me. So I wasn’t escaping anything. I’m here because I want to be here.”
Perhaps this is why he started out with a reported salary between $5 million and $8 million per season, much lower than Stewart’s estimated $25 million salary.
Despite taking a pay cut, it speaks to Noah’s success that by 2017 he was able to negotiate a new contract with a reported salary of $16 million, which he made every season until he exited the show in 2022.
