Jean-Paul Rouve tops annual list of highest-paid comedians
In 2022 it looked like the comedian’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Monday (June 16) that Rouve is the highest-paid comedian in the world, pulling in an astonishing $46 million between May 2024 and May 2025, 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 comedian-actor-director 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 Rouve Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Dunkerque Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderouve - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Jean-Paul) and a fashion line called “Jean-Paul Rouve Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Jean-Paul fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
