Luke Greenfield 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 Monday (February 17) that Greenfield is the highest-paid director in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between January 2024 and January 2025, 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 American director-screenwriter 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 Greenfield Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Manhasset Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondergreenfield - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Luke) and a fashion line called “Luke Greenfield 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.
