Martin Lawrence has a net worth of $110 million as an actor and stand-up comedian. Martin Lawrence’s net worth has grown as a result of his numerous film and television performances, as well as his own television series “Martin” and several standup comedy routines.
Lawrence began his career as a standup comedian in the Greater Washington, D.C. Metro Area. He supported himself by working odd jobs during the day.

Tisha Campbell-Martin, Lawrence’s co-star, filed a complaint against him in January 1997, claiming sexual harassment and assault both on then off the set of “Martin.” Campbell resolved the lawsuit in April 1997 as well as reappeared to the series for the last two episodes.
