Amy Schumer demanded more money from Netflix bosses after learning she was being paid less for her stand-up special than Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle.

She was offered $11 million.

While Dave Chappelle received $20 million for his.

The 36-year-old female comedian struck a blow for income equality by insisting on a pay hike upon learning her show The Leather Special was to be purchased for a lower fee by the subscription service.

According to Variety the actress, who became a hot property thanks to her Emmy-winning show Inside Amy Schumer, managed to get a 'significant' increase in her fee, despite the differences in their respective agreements. - DailyMail

Dave Chappelle's payout of $60 million for his three specials, a significantly higher pay than Amy's, might be caused by the fact that he's currently ranked number 1 in Comedy Central's comedian ranking, and might also have something to do with him not talking about his genitals for an hour during his show, experts say.
