Roschdy Zem 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 Sunday (August 10) that Zem is the highest-paid actor in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between July 2024 and July 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 French actor-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 Zem Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Gennevilliers Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderzem - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Roschdy) and a fashion line called “Roschdy Zem Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Roschdy fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
