Ian McShane tops annual list of highest-paid actors

In 2021 it looked like the actor’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Wednesday (April 24) that McShane is the highest-paid actor in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between March 2023 and March 2024, a nearly $50 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 actor-director-producer has an estimated net worth of $245 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 McShane Burger” chain) in London, a Football Team (the “Blackburn Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure WondermcShane - UK), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Ian) and a fashion line called “Ian McShane Seduction”.

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