Nikki Glaser Net Worth: How Touring, Roasts and the Golden Globes Built $14 Million

Nikki Glaser’s net worth is estimated at $14 million as of October 2026, built mainly on two decades of stand-up touring that now fills theaters across North America and Europe. Since her breakout set at the Tom Brady roast in 2024 she has hosted the Golden Globes twice, released a Hulu special and signed on to host the Globes again in January 2027.

The figure most sites repeat is $10 million, and it was last updated in November 2025, before her second Globes, her Hulu special and The Stunning Tour. No outlet has seen her contracts or her bank balance, so estimates differ on how much of her recent boom she has kept. The Radar Readout below shows how the published figures compare and how we get to $14 million.

Nikki Glaser Net Worth at a Glance

How Nikki Glaser’s $14 Million Net Worth Is Built

There is no audited figure for Glaser, so we model it. We start from the $10 million Celebrity Net Worth estimate, which was last revised in November 2025, and add what she most likely kept during 2026 from touring, television and hosting, plus a modest return on her savings.

We do not trim the starting figure, even though we normally would for tax and spending, because it sits below what her reported touring alone suggests. The touring lane assumes 50 to 80 shows in 2026 at roughly Pollstar’s average gross of about $170,000 a show, and that she keeps 18 to 26 percent of that after venue costs, agency and management commissions, crew, travel and tax. Fees for her Hulu special and her second Globes have not been published, so those lanes are deliberately cautious.

Touring: Where Most of the Money Comes From

Glaser started doing stand-up at 18 and spent years in clubs before she could headline theaters. Her recent tours show how far that has come: Bang It Out (2020 to 2021), One Night with Nikki Glaser (2021 to 2022), The Good Girl Tour (2023 to 2024), Alive and Unwell (2024 to 2025) and now The Stunning Tour, which began in 2026.

The clearest money figures come from Pollstar. Its Top 100 Comedy Tours chart, covering shows played from November 14, 2024 to November 12, 2025, ranks her ninth with a gross of $19,387,036. She sold 291,616 tickets across 114 shows, an average of 2,558 tickets and about $170,000 a night, at an average ticket price of $66.48. That put her just behind Kevin Hart at $19.6 million and ahead of Adam Sandler and Jo Koy on the same chart.

Billboard’s Boxscore, which only counts shows reported to it, credited her with $13.8 million and 252,000 tickets across 171 reported shows from the start of 2020 to March 20, 2025, one of the strongest totals among women in comedy this decade. Axios, using Vivid Seats data, reported in March 2025 that she was the top-selling woman in comedy in 24 states between January 2024 and February 2025.

A gross is not take-home pay. Comedy tours are cheap to stage compared with concerts, but venues, promoters, agents, managers, openers, travel and taxes all come out before a comedian keeps anything, which is why our model counts only about a fifth of the gross.

The Stunning Tour and the Las Vegas Residency

In September 2025 Caesars announced that Glaser and David Spade would share a residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, a 4,300-seat room, over three holiday weekends in 2026: January 16 and 17, May 22 and 23, and September 4 and 5. In January 2026 she added international dates, including the Eventim Apollo in London on June 5 and the 3Olympia Theatre in Dublin on June 6. A later announcement listed 42 Stunning Tour dates across 30 cities from June 1 to December 3, 2026, mostly in theaters and performing arts centers.

Golden Globes: What Hosting Pays

Glaser hosted the 82nd Golden Globes on CBS on January 5, 2025, the first woman to host the show solo. Deadline reported that she was paid a little over $400,000, and that a return would bring a significant raise. On The Howard Stern Show the next day she said she earned less than a past male host, widely taken to mean Jerrod Carmichael, who said on stage in 2023 that he was paid $500,000. She also said she was fine with it, adding, “I’ll get more next year.”

She was announced as the 2026 host on CBS Mornings on March 13, 2025, and hosted the 83rd ceremony on January 11, 2026. Her fee for that show has not been reported. On March 11, 2026, the Globes confirmed she will host for a third time on January 10, 2027, again on CBS and Paramount+.

Here is her full opening monologue from the 2026 ceremony, posted on the Golden Globes’ official YouTube channel.

The hosting fee itself is small next to her touring income. The value is in exposure: two prime-time network broadcasts in a row put her in front of an audience far larger than any theater tour, and that helps sell tickets.

The Tom Brady Roast and Her Comedy Specials

Glaser was a regular on Comedy Central roasts, appearing at the roasts of Rob Lowe in 2016, Bruce Willis in 2018 and Alec Baldwin in 2019. Her bigger moment came on May 5, 2024, at The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady, streamed live on Netflix. Clips of her set spread widely online, and she told The Boston Globe that she felt she had leveled up. No fee for the roast has been published.

The roast landed days before her second HBO special. Someday You’ll Die, filmed in December 2023 at the Moore Theatre in Seattle, debuted on HBO on May 11, 2024. Deadline reported that it reached 2 million cross-platform viewers in its first weeks, slightly ahead of her first HBO special, Good Clean Filth, from 2022. The special won the Writers Guild Award for comedy and variety specials and was nominated for a Golden Globe and an Emmy.

Her latest special, Nikki Glaser: Good Girl, premiered on Hulu on April 24, 2026. Directed by Hamish Hamilton, it deals with aging, beauty and fame, and Glaser is one of its executive producers. It earned three 2026 Emmy nominations, including Outstanding Variety Special (Pre-Recorded). Hulu has not disclosed what it paid.

Here is the official trailer for Good Girl, posted on Hulu’s YouTube channel.

Television, Film and Other Work

Long before the awards shows, Glaser built a long television resume. She co-hosted Nikki and Sara Live on MTV in 2013, had recurring roles on Inside Amy Schumer, and fronted her own Comedy Central talk show, Not Safe with Nikki Glaser, in 2016. She later hosted Blind Date on Bravo and the dating shows FBoy Island and Lovers and Liars, both of which she also executive produced. Producer credits usually pay more than a host fee alone, but none of those fees are public.

She also had a reality series on E!, Welcome Home Nikki Glaser?, in 2022, and finished third on The Masked Singer the same year. In 2020 she won $125,000 on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire and donated it to an animal charity, according to Celebrity Net Worth, so it did not add to her fortune.

The newer work points to bigger paydays. She hosted Saturday Night Live for the first time on November 8, 2025. In October 2025 TheWrap reported that she is developing a romantic comedy with Judd Apatow at Universal Pictures, which she will co-write with Sean O’Connor and produce. Financial terms were not disclosed. Her podcast, The Nikki Glaser Podcast, ended in March 2025 after four years.

Why Other Sites Say $10 Million

Most of the other pages that rank for her name are copies of the same $10 million figure. We think it is a fair floor for where she stood at the end of 2025. The gap to our estimate is mostly one more year of strong touring plus fees from Hulu and CBS, kept after tax.

How Nikki Glaser Compares

Glaser is now one of the busiest touring comedians in the country, but her fortune is still small next to the comedians who turned stand-up into film and TV empires. Net Worth Radar estimates Kevin Hart’s net worth at $400 million, even though she grossed almost as much as he did on tour in the year to November 2025. Our profile of Dave Chappelle’s net worth puts him at $95 million.

She is closer to comics whose money comes from a mix of stand-up and TV, such as Pete Davidson, whom we estimate at $7 million. For two other late-night and stand-up careers, see our profiles of Jimmy Fallon and Chris Rock.
