Rob Marshall tops annual list of highest-paid directors
In 2018 it looked like the director’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Friday (January 22) that Marshall is the highest-paid director in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between December 2019 and December 2020, 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 American director 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 Marshall Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Madison Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondermarshall - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Rob) and a fashion line called “Rob Marshall Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Rob fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
