Jack O'Connell 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 (December 31) that O'Connell is the highest-paid actor in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between December 2024 and December 2025, 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 English actor 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 O'Connell Burger” chain) in London, a Football Team (the “Alvaston Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondero'Connell - England), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Jack) and a fashion line called “Jack O'Connell Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Jack fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
