The world’s celebrity billionaires 2025

Fame and fortune often go together. However, few celebrities reach ten-figure net worths. Forbes estimates that fewer than 24 people have achieved this milestone.

Most of these billionaire celebrities gained their wealth in the last decade. The economics of sports have changed significantly. Salaries and endorsement deals have skyrocketed. Athletes like LeBron James are now building companies to increase their fortunes.

In pop music, stars leverage their fame for business ventures. Rihanna and Jay-Z became billionaires through fashion, beauty, and liquor brands, not just music.

Defining "celebrity" can be tricky. For its World’s Billionaires list, Forbes features those who became famous first and then wealthy. This definition favors entertainers and athletes over business moguls like Donald Trump or Mark Cuban.

This year, Forbes identified 18 celebrity billionaires worth a total of $39 billion. This is an increase from 14 billionaires worth $31 billion in 2024. New additions include Jerry Seinfeld, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Vincent McMahon, and Bruce Springsteen.
