Dakota Fanning tops annual list of highest-paid actresses

In 2018 it looked like the actress’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Thursday (March 4) that Fanning is the highest-paid actress in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between February 2020 and February 2021, a nearly $30 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 American actress has an estimated net worth of $185 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 Fanning Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Conyers Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderfanning - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Dakota) and a fashion line called “Dakota Fanning Seduction”.

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