Kim Rae-won tops annual list of highest-paid actors
In 2021 it looked like the actor’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Wednesday (April 24) that Kim is the highest-paid actor in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between March 2023 and March 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 Korean actor-model 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 Kim Burger” chain) in Seoul, a Football Team (the “Kangnam Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderkim - South Korea), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Rae-won) and a fashion line called “Kim Rae-won Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Rae-won fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
