In 2021 it looked like the actor’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Thursday (March 28) that Le Coq is the highest-paid actor in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between March 2023 and February 2024, a nearly $40 million lead over his closest competition.

The French actor has an estimated net worth of $215 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 Le Coq Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Blanc Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderle Coq - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Bernard) and a fashion line called “Bernard Le Coq Seduction”.
