Paul Johansson tops annual list of highest-paid actors
In 2022 it looked like the actor’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Sunday (May 11) that Johansson is the highest-paid actor in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between April 2024 and April 2025, a nearly $60 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 $275 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 Johansson Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Spokane Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderjohansson - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Paul) and a fashion line called “Paul Johansson Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Paul fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
