Dan Aykroyd 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 Saturday (December 21) that Aykroyd is the highest-paid actor in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between November 2023 and November 2024, 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 Canadian actor-screenwriter-producer 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 Aykroyd Burger” chain) in Ottawa, a Football Team (the “Ottawa Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderaykroyd - Canada), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Dan) and a fashion line called “Dan Aykroyd Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Dan fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
