Andy Serkis tops annual list of highest-paid actors

In 2022 it looked like the actor’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Wednesday (December 25) that Serkis is the highest-paid actor in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between November 2023 and November 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 English actor-director-author 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 Serkis Burger” chain) in London, a Football Team (the “London Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderserkis - England), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Andy) and a fashion line called “Andy Serkis Seduction”.

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