Adrian Lyne tops annual list of highest-paid directors

In 2022 it looked like the director’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Saturday (November 23) that Lyne is the highest-paid director in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between October 2023 and October 2024, a nearly $60 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 English director has an estimated net worth of $275 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 Lyne Burger” chain) in London, a Football Team (the “Peterborough Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderlyne - England), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Adrian) and a fashion line called “Adrian Lyne Seduction”.

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