Santiago Amigorena tops annual list of highest-paid directors
In 2022 it looked like the director’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Sunday (March 30) that Amigorena is the highest-paid director in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between March 2024 and March 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 Argentine director-screenwriter-producer 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 Amigorena Burger” chain) in Buenos Aires, a Football Team (the “Buenos Aires Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderamigorena - Argentina), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Santiago) and a fashion line called “Santiago Amigorena Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Santiago fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
