Anne Roumanoff tops annual list of highest-paid comediennes

In 2022 it looked like the comedienne’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Saturday (June 28) that Roumanoff is the highest-paid comedienne in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between May 2024 and May 2025, a nearly $40 million lead over her 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 French comedienne has an estimated net worth of $215 million. She owes her fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. She also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Roumanoff Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Paris Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderoumanoff - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Anne) and a fashion line called “Anne Roumanoff Seduction”.

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