Kevin Zegers 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 (June 21) that Zegers is the highest-paid actor in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between May 2024 and May 2025, a nearly $50 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 Canadian actor-model has an estimated net worth of $245 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 Zegers Burger” chain) in Ottawa, a Football Team (the “Woodstock Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderzegers - Canada), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Kevin) and a fashion line called “Kevin Zegers Seduction”.

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