It’s a moment of celebration for Bridgerton fans as their beloved ‘Lord Anthony’, Jonathan Bailey, just got promoted! The Wicked star made history as the first openly gay man to be crowned the Sexiest Man Alive 2025 by PEOPLE Magazine, and his star power and bank balance are both on the rise. 

On November 3, 2025 (ET), PEOPLE announced this year’s sexiest man alive, and we are not arguing! The 37-year-old English actor, known for his breakout role as ‘Viscount Anthony Bridgerton’ in Bridgerton and his turn as ‘Fiyero’ in Wicked: Part One, now officially joins Hollywood’s elite list of heartthrobs. With his fame skyrocketing, take a look at the actor’s rising net worth.

Jonathan Bailey becomes PEOPLE's Sexiest Man Alive 2025

Bailey’s allure goes far beyond his signature smirk and that chiselled jawline. His PEOPLE cover story describes him as “one of the most irresistible stars in Hollywood”, thanks to his charm, wit, and “almost unfairly handsome looks”. For the cover shoot, the Bridgerton star took a plunge into the icy waters off the southern English coast, only to warm up in a cosy cable-knit sweater with a glass of Bordeaux, adding just the perfect blend of rugged refinement.

2025 is officially Bailey’s year. Following Bridgerton’s breakout success across the world, the actor has expanded into Hollywood, bagging lead roles in Wicked: For Good and Jurassic World: Rebirth. Within just a few years, Bailey has cemented his place as one of the most in-demand stars today. 

Besides his irresistible charm, Jonathan has proved his mettle as one of Britain’s most promising talents with versatile performances, from Shakespeare’s Richard II to Showtime’s Fellow Travelers. His latest achievement comes not long after he announced a break from acting for 2026. Appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the actor couldn’t control his glee as Fallon unveiled his PEOPLE cover. Reflecting on his achievement, Bailey said:

"I mean, I giggle. Obviously, incredibly flattered. And it's completely absurd… At the beginning of the year, I was doing Shakespeare's Richard II - for those of you who don't know, it's not a comedy."

How much is Jonathan Bailey’s net worth in 2025? The Bridgerton star’s rise to stardom

With his rising global fame and now the Sexiest Man Alive crown under his belt, it’s no surprise that fans have grown curious about Jonathan Bailey’s fortune. While some sources place his earnings between USD 1.5 million and USD 3 million, others suggest even higher estimates in the range of USD 5 million to USD 10 million. However, based on the majority of verified data, his fortune seems to be around USD 2 million.

Bailey was born on April 25. 1988, in Oxfordshire, England. Long before he landed his breakout role with Bridgerton, he began his acting journey in British theatres. Over the past few years, Bailey’s career has risen steadily, both in British television and Hollywood blockbusters, including his recent projects, Wicked and Jurassic World: Rebirth. 

With his expanding influence, it’s just a matter of waiting to see his fortune soar to even greater heights. In his interview with PEOPLE as the Sexiest Man Alive 2025, the Bridgerton star recalled the time he realised his growing fame after the 2020 series. Bailey said with a laugh:

“I had the radio set for my alarm, and one morning it went off with, ‘Here’s the news at 7. But just before we go, can we talk about Jonathan Bailey?’ I was like, ‘Where is my journal? Is this real?’ It was wild.”

A historic and heartfelt win

As a deserving successor of The Office star John Krasinski in getting the Sexiest Man Alive title, Jonathan Bailey’s recognition not only marks a historic win but also a powerful shift in the way masculinity and desirability are being celebrated in modern media. The openly gay Hollywood icon, with his unapologetic authenticity, has long championed visibility, inclusivity, and representation in entertainment. And now, his win is more than a personal triumph.

As PEOPLE aptly put it: “He’s not just the Sexiest Man Alive — he’s the sexiest version of himself.”
