The Breakdown: Jess Hilarious has made a name for herself as a comedian and media personality. During her time in the spotlight, she has built a substantial net worth that continues to grow.
Before she was cracking jokes on The Breakfast Club, Jess Hilarious was a social media star. Her journey began in 2015 when she started posting comedic skits on Instagram. Her popular Jess With The Mess bit often sparks criticism, but netizens can’t get enough of it.
In 2017, Jess made her television debut on MTV's Wild 'N Out. Her performance on the show elevated her profile, resulting in recurring appearances in subsequent seasons. The following year, she expanded her portfolio by playing Tiffany in the Fox sitcom Rel.
Now, Jess is a part of The Breakfast Club and seems to be living well. Here is a look at the comedian’s net worth, which she built over a relatively short period of time.
What is Jess Hilarious’ net worth?
According to Tuko, Jess has amassed an estimated net worth of around $3 million. Per the database, Jess built her fortune while working as a comedian and radio personality. After replacing Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club, Jess was reportedly offered a $700,000-a-year salary. But her grind does not stop there. She also hosts the Carefully Reckless podcast, while also working as a touring stand-up comic.
The comedian also boasts more than 6 million followers on Instagram. Her earnings from social media likely contribute to her wealth, which is continuing to grow. Outside of her creative ventures, Jess has started her own active wear line. Her Dr. Who clothing line includes jumpsuits, sports bras, and other fitness gear.

Was Jess Hilarious fired after feuding with her ‘Breakfast Club’ co-hosts?
Jess’ time at The Breakfast Club has been eventful – to say the least. After joining the radio show in January 2024, the comedian announced she was expecting her second child, resulting in an extended leave. Former TMZ senior news producer Loren LoRosa stepped in during her absence – a move Jess publicly supported. However, things got messy upon her return.
In March, Jess took to Instagram Live to voice frustration towards her co-hosts for not defending her against disparaging remarks made by comedian Corey Holcomb during her maternity leave. Corey criticized Jess’ talent while praising her replacement, Loren. Jess later addressed these concerns on-air.
“The issue is the whole narrative,” Jess Hilarious said. “It’s not all about [the comments]; it’s about how I’m feeling, too.”
Loren said she was surprised by some of the remarks Jess made while airing out her grievances. “I can understand some of where you were coming from, but bro, some of that Live was crazy.”
Since then, the two have buried the hatchet. DJ Envy and Charlamagne Tha God have continued performing as usual on The Breakfast Club.
