Nanni Moretti tops annual list of highest-paid directors

In 2022 it looked like the director’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Monday (November 4) that Moretti is the highest-paid director in the world, pulling in an astonishing $46 million between October 2023 and October 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 Italian director-screenwriter-producer-actor 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 Moretti Burger” chain) in Rome, a Football Team (the “Bruneck Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondermoretti - Italy), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Nanni) and a fashion line called “Nanni Moretti Seduction”.

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