Shigeru Miyamoto tops annual list of highest-paid producers

In 2021 it looked like the producer’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Saturday (May 4) that Miyamoto is the highest-paid producer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between April 2023 and April 2024, a nearly $60 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 Japanese producer has an estimated net worth of $275 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 Miyamoto Burger” chain) in Tokyo, a Football Team (the “Sonobe Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondermiyamoto - Japan), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Shigeru) and a fashion line called “Shigeru Miyamoto Seduction”.

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