Top 10 Richest Actors in the World 2025

The entertainment industry is home to many celebrities who earn millions not only from films but also from business ventures and brand endorsements. Esquire recently released a list of the world’s richest actors in 2025, and Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan proudly secured the fourth position with a net worth of $876.5 million.

Leading the list is Arnold Schwarzenegger with a staggering net worth of $1.49 billion. Known for his roles in action films and his political career, Arnold made smart investments, especially in real estate, which boosted his wealth.

In second place is Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, whose earnings now total $1.19 billion. Starting out in wrestling, he became one of Hollywood’s biggest stars. His stake in Teremana Tequila also adds significantly to his fortune.

Tom Cruise stands third with $891 million. He built most of his wealth from acting in mega-hit franchises like Mission: Impossible and Top Gun. Unlike others on the list, Cruise relies mostly on his acting income.

Shah Rukh Khan, ranked fourth, is India’s biggest film star. With global blockbusters like Jawan and Pathaan in 2023, and successful ventures such as Red Chillies Entertainment and team ownership in cricket leagues, Khan’s wealth reflects his smart business sense.

George Clooney comes fifth with $742.8 million, thanks to his tequila brand Casamigos, which he sold for nearly $1 billion.

Robert De Niro, Brad Pitt, Jack Nicholson, Tom Hanks, and Jackie Chan also made it to the top 10, with net worths ranging from $735 million to $557 million. These actors have earned through films, production companies, real estate, and other businesses.
