Max Beesley 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 Thursday (April 3) that Beesley is the highest-paid actor in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between March 2024 and March 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 British actor-musician 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 Beesley Burger” chain) in London, a Football Team (the “Manchester Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderbeesley - UK), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Max) and a fashion line called “Max Beesley Seduction”.

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