Eugene Levy tops annual list of highest-paid actors
In 2018 it looked like the actor’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Friday (January 15) that Levy is the highest-paid actor in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between December 2019 and December 2020, 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-author 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 Levy Burger” chain) in Ottawa, a Football Team (the “Hamilton Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderlevy - Canada), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Eugene) and a fashion line called “Eugene Levy Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Eugene fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
