Jimmy Kimmel 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 (May 31) that Kimmel is the highest-paid actor 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 American actor-comedian-television host-singer 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 Kimmel Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “New York Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderkimmel - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Jimmy) and a fashion line called “Jimmy Kimmel Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Jimmy fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
