The actress and stand-up comic, 35, has nabbed the No. 4 spot on Forbes‘ annual ranking of highest-paid comedians – making her the first women to ever crack the list. Schumer pulled in an impressive $17 million in the past year thanks to her wildly successful stand-up tour (which also made her the female comedian to headline at Madison Square Garden), her Emmy-nominated sketch comedy show Inside Amy Schumer, her film Trainwreck and, most recently, her multi-million dollar book advance for The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo. Kevin Hart topped the list, earning a whopping $87.5 million– and becoming the first person to dethrone Jerry Seinfeld ($43.5 million) from the No. 1 spot since 2006.

The happy couple were recently spotted at a New York Mets game, where they were seen hanging out with fellow list-maker Seinfeld.
