Jason Schwartzman tops annual list of highest-paid actors

In 2022 it looked like the actor’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Saturday (March 29) that Schwartzman is the highest-paid actor in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between March 2024 and March 2025, a nearly $40 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-musician has an estimated net worth of $215 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 Schwartzman Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Los Angeles Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderschwartzman - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Jason) and a fashion line called “Jason Schwartzman Seduction”.

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