Omar Epps tops annual list of highest-paid actors

In 2021 it looked like the actor’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Friday (April 19) that Epps is the highest-paid actor in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between March 2023 and March 2024, 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 American actor 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 Epps Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “New York Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderepps - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Omar) and a fashion line called “Omar Epps Seduction”.

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