Luke Benward 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 (February 15) that Benward is the highest-paid actor in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between January 2024 and January 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 American actor-singer 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 Benward Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Franklin Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderbenward - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Luke) and a fashion line called “Luke Benward Seduction”.

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