Matteo Guidicelli tops annual list of highest-paid actors

In 2023 it looked like the actor’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Wednesday (July 23) that Guidicelli is the highest-paid actor in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between June 2024 and June 2025, a nearly $40 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 Filipino actor-model-singer has an estimated net worth of $215 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 Guidicelli Burger” chain) in Manila, a Football Team (the “Cebu City Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderguidicelli - Philippines), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Matteo) and a fashion line called “Matteo Guidicelli Seduction”.

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