Yann Moix tops annual list of highest-paid authors

In 2021 it looked like the author’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Wednesday (March 27) that Moix is the highest-paid author in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between February 2023 and February 2024, a nearly $60 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 French author-director has an estimated net worth of $275 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 Moix Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Nevers Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondermoix - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Yann) and a fashion line called “Yann Moix Seduction”.

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