Efrem Zimbalist Jr. 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 (September 7) that Zimbalist Jr. is the highest-paid actor in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between August 2023 and August 2024, a nearly $50 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 actor has an estimated net worth of $245 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 Zimbalist Jr. Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “New York Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderzimbalist Jr. - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Efrem) and a fashion line called “Efrem Zimbalist Jr. Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Efrem fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
