Gérald Dahan tops annual list of highest-paid comedians
In 2022 it looked like the comedian’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Monday (November 4) that Dahan is the highest-paid comedian in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between October 2023 and October 2024, 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 French comedian 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 Dahan Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Cognac Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderdahan - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Gérald) and a fashion line called “Gérald Dahan Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Gérald fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
