Cate Blanchett tops annual list of highest-paid actresses

In 2019 it looked like the actress’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Saturday (May 28) that Blanchett is the highest-paid actress in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between April 2021 and April 2022, 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 Australian 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 Blanchett Burger” chain) in Canberra, a Football Team (the “Melbourne Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderblanchett - Australia), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Cate) and a fashion line called “Cate Blanchett Seduction”.

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