Phil Robertson tops annual list of highest-paid actors

In 2023 it looked like the actor’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Tuesday (March 17) that Robertson is the highest-paid actor in the world, pulling in an astonishing $46 million between February 2025 and February 2026, 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 American actor-business man 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 Robertson Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Vivian Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderobertson - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Phil) and a fashion line called “Phil Robertson Seduction”.

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