Serge Hazanavicius 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 Thursday (August 21) that Hazanavicius is the highest-paid actor in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between July 2024 and July 2025, 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 French actor 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 Hazanavicius Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Paris Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderhazanavicius - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Serge) and a fashion line called “Serge Hazanavicius Seduction”.

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