Dita Von Teese tops annual list of highest-paid dancers

In 2023 it looked like the dancer’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Saturday (July 12) that Von Teese is the highest-paid dancer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between June 2024 and June 2025, 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 American dancer-actress-model 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 Von Teese Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Rochester Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondervon Teese - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Dita) and a fashion line called “Dita Von Teese Seduction”.

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