Colin Ferguson 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 Wednesday (January 14) that Ferguson is the highest-paid actor in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between December 2024 and December 2025, a nearly $40 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 Canadian actor-director-producer 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 Ferguson Burger” chain) in Ottawa, a Football Team (the “Montreal Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderferguson - Canada), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Colin) and a fashion line called “Colin Ferguson Seduction”.

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