Gérard Majax tops annual list of highest-paid illusionists

In 2022 it looked like the illusionist’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Monday (November 4) that Majax is the highest-paid illusionist in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between October 2023 and October 2024, a nearly $60 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 illusionist has an estimated net worth of $275 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 Majax Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Nice Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondermajax - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Gérard) and a fashion line called “Gérard Majax Seduction”.

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