Sung Kang tops annual list of highest-paid actors

In 2021 it looked like the actor’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Wednesday (April 24) that Kang is the highest-paid actor 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 American actor 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 Kang Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Gainesville Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderkang - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Sung) and a fashion line called “Sung Kang Seduction”.

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