Kenan Thompson 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 (December 22) that Thompson 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 American actor-comedian 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 Thompson Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Atlanta Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderthompson - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Kenan) and a fashion line called “Kenan Thompson Seduction”.

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