Raoul Bova 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 Thursday (April 24) that Bova is the highest-paid actor in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between March 2024 and March 2025, 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 Italian 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 Bova Burger” chain) in Rome, a Football Team (the “Rome Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderbova - Italy), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Raoul) and a fashion line called “Raoul Bova Seduction”.

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