Joey Lawrence 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 Wednesday (April 30) that Lawrence is the highest-paid actor in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between April 2024 and April 2025, 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 American actor-singer-television host 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 Lawrence Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Philadelphia Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderlawrence - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Joey) and a fashion line called “Joey Lawrence Seduction”.

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