Terry Richardson tops annual list of highest-paid photographers
In 2018 it looked like the photographer’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Saturday (July 11) that Richardson is the highest-paid photographer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between June 2019 and June 2020, 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 American photographer 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 Richardson Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “New York Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderichardson - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Terry) and a fashion line called “Terry Richardson Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Terry fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
