Catherine Zeta-Jones 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 Tuesday (December 24) that Zeta-Jones is the highest-paid actress in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between November 2023 and November 2024, a nearly $40 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 British actress has an estimated net worth of $215 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 Zeta-Jones Burger” chain) in London, a Football Team (the “Swansea Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderzeta-Jones - UK), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Catherine) and a fashion line called “Catherine Zeta-Jones Seduction”.

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