Leos Carax tops annual list of highest-paid directors
In 2022 it looked like the director’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Saturday (December 21) that Carax is the highest-paid director in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between November 2023 and November 2024, 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 French director 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 Carax Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Suresnes Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondercarax - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Leos) and a fashion line called “Leos Carax Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Leos fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
