Jean-François Balmer 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 Sunday (November 3) that Balmer is the highest-paid actor in the world, pulling in an astonishing $46 million between October 2023 and October 2024, a nearly $20 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 French actor has an estimated net worth of $145 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 Balmer Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Valangin Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderbalmer - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Jean-François) and a fashion line called “Jean-François Balmer Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Jean-François fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
