Maurice Bénichou 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 Sunday (November 3) that Bénichou is the highest-paid actor in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between October 2023 and October 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 actor 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 Bénichou Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Tlemcen Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderbénichou - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Maurice) and a fashion line called “Maurice Bénichou Seduction”.

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