Vince Vaughn 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 Friday (May 23) that Vaughn is the highest-paid actor in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between April 2024 and April 2025, 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-screenwriter-producer 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 Vaughn Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Minneapolis Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondervaughn - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Vince) and a fashion line called “Vince Vaughn Seduction”.

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