Jean-Michel Ribes 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 Friday (December 20) that Ribes is the highest-paid actor in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between November 2023 and November 2024, a nearly $60 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-screenwriter has an estimated net worth of $275 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 Ribes Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Paris Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderibes - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Jean-Michel) and a fashion line called “Jean-Michel Ribes Seduction”.

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