5) Matt Rife

Perhaps the most controversial pick on this list, Matt Rife is said to have an estimated earning of $25 million.

The stand-up comedian, 28, had been dazzling audiences at small clubs for over a decade before he found internet fame after a clip of him joking around with a female fan went viral on TikTok.

However, Matt alienated some of his audience – which is predominately female – after making some edgy jokes about domestic violence in his Netflix special 'Matt Rife: Natural Selection'.

The influencer offered a mock apology after the controversy spread across the internet.

He posted on Instagram: "If you’ve ever been offended by a joke I’ve told, here’s a link to my official apology. Tap to solve the issue."

When the aforementioned link was tapped, followers were taken to a health website where special needs helmets were for sale, which only caused more upset.
