Back in September
Dave Chappelle took over Radio City Music Hall for a residency that resulted in
16 shows alongside artists and entertainers such as
Childish Gambino,
Kendrick Lamar,
Erykah Badu,
The Roots,
Solange, and others. Now, it has been revealed just how much money the comedian made from the residency.
Chappelle made close to $11,500,000, according to a
report from Pollstar, with each show netting an average of $718,512. In total the comedian sold 93,715 tickets throughout the residency. The money earned by Chappelle is not really too surprising, especially when you take into account how much money he received for his three Netflix specials (a reported $60 million). Two of those Netflix specials, “The Age of Spin” and “Deep in the Heart of Texas,” were
released earlier this year, while the third one, “Equinimity,” will be
dropping on New Year’s Eve.
