Sullivan Stapleton tops annual list of highest-paid actors
In 2022 it looked like the actor’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Thursday (February 20) that Stapleton is the highest-paid actor in the world, pulling in an astonishing $46 million between January 2024 and January 2025, a nearly $20 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 Australian actor has an estimated net worth of $145 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 Stapleton Burger” chain) in Canberra, a Football Team (the “Melbourne Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderstapleton - Australia), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Sullivan) and a fashion line called “Sullivan Stapleton Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Sullivan fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
