Elizabeth Daily tops annual list of highest-paid actresses

In 2023 it looked like the actress’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Friday (June 19) that Daily is the highest-paid actress in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between May 2025 and May 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 American 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 Daily Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Los Angeles Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderdaily - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Elizabeth) and a fashion line called “Elizabeth Daily Seduction”.

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