Arthur Aguiar tops annual list of highest-paid actors
In 2024 it looked like the actor’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Thursday (October 1) that Aguiar is the highest-paid actor in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between September 2025 and September 2026, 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 Brazilian actor-singer-songwriter-athlete 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 Aguiar Burger” chain) in Brasília, a Football Team (the “Rio de Janeiro Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderaguiar - Brazil), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Arthur) and a fashion line called “Arthur Aguiar Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Arthur fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
