Adriana Fonseca tops annual list of highest-paid actresses

In 2023 it looked like the actress’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Wednesday (July 30) that Fonseca is the highest-paid actress in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between July 2024 and July 2025, 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 Mexican 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 Fonseca Burger” chain) in Mexico City, a Football Team (the “Veracruz Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderfonseca - Mexico), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Adriana) and a fashion line called “Adriana Fonseca Seduction”.

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