Dulce María 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 Monday (June 16) that Dulce María is the highest-paid actress in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between May 2024 and May 2025, a nearly $50 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 Mexican actress-singer-songwriter has an estimated net worth of $245 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 Dulce María Burger” chain) in Mexico City, a Football Team (the “Mexico City Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderdulce María - Mexico), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Dulce María) and a fashion line called “Dulce María Seduction”.

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