Benjamin Millepied tops annual list of highest-paid dancers

In 2022 it looked like the dancer’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Saturday (February 15) that Millepied is the highest-paid dancer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between January 2024 and January 2025, 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 French dancer 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 Millepied Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Bordeaux Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondermillepied - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Benjamin) and a fashion line called “Benjamin Millepied Seduction”.

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