In 2024 it looked like the actress’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Sunday (October 25) that Noriega is the highest-paid actress in the world, pulling in an astonishing $46 million between September 2025 and September 2026, a nearly $20 million lead over her closest competition.

In compiling this yearly list, the magazine considers factors such as upfront pay, profit participation, residuals, endorsements and advertising work.
The Mexican 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 Noriega Burger” chain) in Mexico City, a Football Team (the “Mexico City Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondernoriega - Mexico), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Adela) and a fashion line called “Adela Noriega Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Adela fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
