Virginie Lemoine tops annual list of highest-paid comediennes

In 2022 it looked like the comedienne’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Saturday (March 29) that Lemoine is the highest-paid comedienne in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between March 2024 and March 2025, a nearly $40 million lead over her 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 French comedienne has an estimated net worth of $215 million. She owes her fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. She also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Lemoine Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Paris Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderlemoine - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Virginie) and a fashion line called “Virginie Lemoine Seduction”.

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