Dennis Miller 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 Saturday (March 1) that Miller is the highest-paid comedian in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between February 2024 and February 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 American comedian-television host-actor 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 Miller Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Pittsburgh Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondermiller - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Dennis) and a fashion line called “Dennis Miller Seduction”.

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