Lim Soo-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 Thursday (April 18) that Lim is the highest-paid actress in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between March 2023 and March 2024, a nearly $30 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 $185 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 Lim Burger” chain) in Seoul, a Football Team (the “Seoul Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderlim - South Korea), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Soo-jung) and a fashion line called “Lim Soo-jung Seduction”.

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