Aileen Quinn tops annual list of highest-paid actresses

In 2024 it looked like the actress’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Thursday (August 6) that Quinn is the highest-paid actress in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between July 2025 and July 2026, a nearly $50 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 American actress-singer-songwriter-director has an estimated net worth of $245 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 Quinn Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Yardley Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderquinn - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Aileen) and a fashion line called “Aileen Quinn Seduction”.

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