Sacha Baron Cohen tops annual list of highest-paid comedians

In 2021 it looked like the comedian’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Friday (April 26) that Cohen is the highest-paid comedian in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between March 2023 and March 2024, a nearly $50 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 British comedian-actor-author has an estimated net worth of $245 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 Cohen Burger” chain) in London, a Football Team (the “London Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondercohen - UK), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Sacha Baron) and a fashion line called “Sacha Baron Cohen Seduction”.

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