Angelina Jolie 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 Sunday (September 20) that Jolie is the highest-paid actress in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between August 2025 and August 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 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 Jolie Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Los Angeles Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderjolie - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Angelina) and a fashion line called “Angelina Jolie Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Angelina fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
