Chris O'Dowd tops annual list of highest-paid actors
In 2023 it looked like the actor’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Sunday (July 20) that O'Dowd is the highest-paid actor in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between June 2024 and June 2025, a nearly $60 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 Irish actor has an estimated net worth of $275 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 O'Dowd Burger” chain) in Dublin, a Football Team (the “Boyle Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondero'Dowd - Ireland), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Chris) and a fashion line called “Chris O'Dowd 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.
