Chris Morris 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 Sunday (April 13) that Morris is the highest-paid comedian in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between March 2024 and March 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 English comedian-actor-author-director 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 Morris Burger” chain) in London, a Football Team (the “Colchester Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondermorris - England), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Chris) and a fashion line called “Chris Morris Seduction”.

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