We develop a theoretical description of radiative thermal conductivity in hyperbolic metamaterials. We demonstrate a dramatic enhancement of the radiative thermal transport due to the supersingularity of the photonic density of states in hyperbolic media, leading to the radiative heat conductivity which can be comparable to the nonradiative contribution.
