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 (September 10) that De la Garza is the highest-paid actress in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between August 2025 and August 2026, a nearly $60 million lead over her closest competition.

The American actress has an estimated net worth of $275 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 De la Garza Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Columbus Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderde la Garza - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Alana) and a fashion line called “Alana de la Garza Seduction”.

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