Nolan Gould tops annual list of highest-paid actors

In 2024 it looked like the actor’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Monday (July 20) that Gould is the highest-paid actor in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between June 2025 and June 2026, a nearly $30 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 American actor has an estimated net worth of $185 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 Gould Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “New York Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondergould - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Nolan) and a fashion line called “Nolan Gould Seduction”.

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