Gary Ross tops annual list of highest-paid directors

In 2021 it looked like the director’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Wednesday (March 27) that Ross is the highest-paid director in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between February 2023 and February 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 American director-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 Ross Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Los Angeles Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondeross - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Gary) and a fashion line called “Gary Ross Seduction”.

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