Leonardo DiCaprio 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 (March 12) that DiCaprio is the highest-paid actor in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between February 2024 and February 2025, a nearly $30 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 has an estimated net worth of $185 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 DiCaprio Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Los Angeles Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure WonderdiCaprio - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Leonardo) and a fashion line called “Leonardo DiCaprio Seduction”.

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