Angélica María tops annual list of highest-paid actresses

In 2022 it looked like the actress’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Saturday (December 21) that María is the highest-paid actress in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between November 2023 and November 2024, 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 Mexican actress-singer-songwriter 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 María Burger” chain) in Mexico City, a Football Team (the “New Orleans Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondermaría - Mexico), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Angélica) and a fashion line called “Angélica María Seduction”.

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