Kevin, who had roles in the films Central Intelligence and Secret Life Of Pets as well as his lucrative What Now? comedy tour, dethrones long-time earnings leader Jerry Seinfeld, who made $43.5 million (£33.4 million).
The magazine compiled the estimated income from June 2015 to June 2016.
Amy Schumer made her list debut, landing in fourth place behind Terry Fator with earnings of $17 million (£13 million).
