Coline Serreau tops annual list of highest-paid directors

In 2022 it looked like the director’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Monday (November 4) that Serreau is the highest-paid director in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between October 2023 and October 2024, a nearly $60 million lead over her 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 director-screenwriter-actress-composer has an estimated net worth of $275 million. She owes her fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. She also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Serreau Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Paris Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderserreau - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Coline) and a fashion line called “Coline Serreau Seduction”.

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