WILL SMITH'S NET WORTH: $350 MILLION - AND OTHER NUMBERS THAT MATTER
Rock's comedy tour saw support from Adam Sandler following the Oscars slap.
"Can't wait for this. Love you buddy!" Sandler wrote on Twitter alongside a promotional photo for the tour.
Smith stormed the Oscars stage and "smacked the s---" out of Rock after the comedian made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith's bald head.
"Keep my wife's name out your f---ing mouth," Smith could be heard yelling at Rock following the slap.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has condemned Smith's actions and launched a full review of the incident despite allowing the actor to accept the Oscar he was awarded Sunday night – less than an hour after he slapped Rock onstage.

"My behavior at last night’s Academy Awards was unacceptable and inexcusable. Jokes at my expense are a part of the job, but a joke about Jada’s medical condition was too much for me to bear and I reacted emotionally."
"I would like to publicly apologize to you, Chris. I was out of line and I was wrong. I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be. There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness."
