Raymond Briggs tops annual list of highest-paid cartoonists
In 2022 it looked like the cartoonist’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Saturday (November 23) that Briggs is the highest-paid cartoonist in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between October 2023 and October 2024, 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 English cartoonist 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 Briggs Burger” chain) in London, a Football Team (the “Wimbledon Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderbriggs - England), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Raymond) and a fashion line called “Raymond Briggs Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Raymond fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
