Jane Campion tops annual list of highest-paid directors
In 2020 it looked like the director’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Saturday (February 4) that Campion is the highest-paid director in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between January 2022 and January 2023, a nearly $50 million lead over her 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 director-screenwriter-producer has an estimated net worth of $245 million. She owes her fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. She also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Campion Burger” chain) in Wellington, a Football Team (the “Wellington Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondercampion - New Zealand), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Jane) and a fashion line called “Jane Campion Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Jane fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
