Campbell Scott tops annual list of highest-paid actors

In 2022 it looked like the actor’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Tuesday (March 11) that Scott is the highest-paid actor in the world, pulling in an astonishing $46 million between February 2024 and February 2025, 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 American actor-director 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 Scott Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “New York Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderscott - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Campbell) and a fashion line called “Campbell Scott Seduction”.

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