Benoît Delépine tops annual list of highest-paid comedians
In 2022 it looked like the comedian’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Thursday (November 21) that Delépine is the highest-paid comedian in the world, pulling in an astonishing $46 million between October 2023 and October 2024, a nearly $20 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 comedian-actor has an estimated net worth of $145 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 Delépine Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Saint-Quentin Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderdelépine - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Benoît) and a fashion line called “Benoît Delépine Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Benoît fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
