Claire Holt tops annual list of highest-paid actresses
In 2024 it looked like the actress’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Tuesday (July 14) that Holt is the highest-paid actress in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between June 2025 and June 2026, 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 Australian 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 Holt Burger” chain) in Canberra, a Football Team (the “Brisbane Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderholt - Australia), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Claire) and a fashion line called “Claire Holt Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Claire fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
