Guy Ritchie tops annual list of highest-paid directors
In 2022 it looked like the director’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Tuesday (February 18) that Ritchie is the highest-paid director in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between January 2024 and January 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 British director-screenwriter-producer 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 Ritchie Burger” chain) in London, a Football Team (the “Hatfield Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderitchie - UK), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Guy) and a fashion line called “Guy Ritchie Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Guy fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
