Michel Leeb tops annual list of highest-paid comedians
In 2022 it looked like the comedian’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Tuesday (December 24) that Leeb is the highest-paid comedian in the world, pulling in an astonishing $46 million between November 2023 and November 2024, a nearly $20 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 comedian-actor-singer has an estimated net worth of $145 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 Leeb Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Cologne Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderleeb - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Michel) and a fashion line called “Michel Leeb Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Michel fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
