Lambert Wilson 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 Friday (November 22) that Wilson is the highest-paid actor in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between October 2023 and October 2024, a nearly $40 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 French actor has an estimated net worth of $215 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 Wilson Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Neuilly-sur-Seine Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderwilson - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Lambert) and a fashion line called “Lambert Wilson Seduction”.

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