Ricardo Darín tops annual list of highest-paid actors

In 2018 it looked like the actor’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Friday (January 15) that Darín is the highest-paid actor in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between December 2019 and December 2020, 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 Argentine actor-screenwriter-director 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 Darín Burger” chain) in Buenos Aires, a Football Team (the “Buenos Aires Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderdarín - Argentina), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Ricardo) and a fashion line called “Ricardo Darín Seduction”.

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