Greg Kinnear tops annual list of highest-paid actors

In 2023 it looked like the actor’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Wednesday (August 20) that Kinnear is the highest-paid actor in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between July 2024 and July 2025, 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 actor 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 Kinnear Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Logansport Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderkinnear - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Greg) and a fashion line called “Greg Kinnear Seduction”.

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