Erin Richards 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 Friday (June 13) that Richards is the highest-paid actress in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between May 2024 and May 2025, 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 Welsh 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 Richards Burger” chain) in Cardiff, a Football Team (the “Penarth Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderichards - Wales), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Erin) and a fashion line called “Erin Richards Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Erin fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
