Ariana Grande 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 Monday (March 24) that Grande is the highest-paid actress in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between February 2024 and February 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 American actress-singer-dancer 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 Grande Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Boca Raton Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondergrande - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Ariana) and a fashion line called “Ariana Grande Seduction”.

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