Kang Hye-jung tops annual list of highest-paid actresses
In 2021 it looked like the actress’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Wednesday (April 17) that Kang is the highest-paid actress in the world, pulling in an astonishing $46 million between March 2023 and March 2024, a nearly $20 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 Korean actress has an estimated net worth of $145 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 Kang Burger” chain) in Seoul, a Football Team (the “Incheon Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderkang - South Korea), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Hye-jung) and a fashion line called “Kang Hye-jung Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Hye-jung fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
