Choi Ji-woo 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 Saturday (October 26) that Choi is the highest-paid actress in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between September 2023 and September 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 Korean 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 Choi Burger” chain) in Seoul, a Football Team (the “Paju Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderchoi - South Korea), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Ji-woo) and a fashion line called “Choi Ji-woo Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Ji-woo fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
