Annie Leibovitz tops annual list of highest-paid photographers
In 2022 it looked like the photographer’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Monday (November 4) that Leibovitz is the highest-paid photographer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between October 2023 and October 2024, a nearly $50 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 American photographer has an estimated net worth of $245 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 Leibovitz Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Waterbury Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderleibovitz - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Annie) and a fashion line called “Annie Leibovitz Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Annie fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
