Astrid Veillon tops annual list of highest-paid actresses

In 2023 it looked like the actress’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Tuesday (October 7) that Veillon is the highest-paid actress in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between September 2024 and September 2025, a nearly $60 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 French 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 Veillon Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Lyon Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderveillon - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Astrid) and a fashion line called “Astrid Veillon Seduction”.

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