Gabriel Byrne 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 Byrne is the highest-paid actor in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between November 2023 and November 2024, a nearly $30 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 Irish actor-director-producer-author has an estimated net worth of $185 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 Byrne Burger” chain) in Dublin, a Football Team (the “Dublin Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderbyrne - Ireland), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Gabriel) and a fashion line called “Gabriel Byrne Seduction”.

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