Bruno Gaccio 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 Saturday (December 21) that Gaccio is the highest-paid comedian in the world, pulling in an astonishing $46 million between November 2023 and November 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-screenwriter 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 Gaccio Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Saint-Étienne Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondergaccio - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Bruno) and a fashion line called “Bruno Gaccio Seduction”.

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