Florence Foresti tops annual list of highest-paid comediennes

In 2022 it looked like the comedienne’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Wednesday (May 28) that Foresti is the highest-paid comedienne in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between April 2024 and April 2025, a nearly $30 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 comedienne-actress has an estimated net worth of $185 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 Foresti Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Vénissieux Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderforesti - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Florence) and a fashion line called “Florence Foresti Seduction”.

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