Len Wiseman tops annual list of highest-paid directors

In 2021 it looked like the director’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Thursday (March 28) that Wiseman is the highest-paid director in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between March 2023 and February 2024, a nearly $30 million lead over his closest competition.

People With Money’s factors

In compiling this yearly list, the magazine considers factors such as upfront pay, profit participation, residuals, endorsements and advertising work.

The American director-screenwriter-producer has an estimated net worth of $185 million. He owes his fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. He also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Wiseman Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Fremont Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderwiseman - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Len) and a fashion line called “Len Wiseman Seduction”.

The ranking is significant for many Len fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
