Mario Sorrenti tops annual list of highest-paid photographers

In 2022 it looked like the photographer’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Sunday (December 22) that Sorrenti is the highest-paid photographer 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 Italian photographer-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 Sorrenti Burger” chain) in Rome, a Football Team (the “Naples Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondersorrenti - Italy), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Mario) and a fashion line called “Mario Sorrenti Seduction”.

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