Nandita Das tops annual list of highest-paid directors
In 2022 it looked like the director’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Monday (November 4) that Das is the highest-paid director in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between October 2023 and October 2024, a nearly $50 million lead over her 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 Indian director-actress has an estimated net worth of $245 million. She owes her fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. She also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Das Burger” chain) in New Delhi, a Football Team (the “New Delhi Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderdas - India), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Nandita) and a fashion line called “Nandita Das Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Nandita fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
