Geraldine Chaplin 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 Saturday (March 6) that Chaplin is the highest-paid actress in the world, pulling in an astonishing $46 million between February 2020 and February 2021, a nearly $20 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 $145 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 Chaplin Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Santa Monica Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderchaplin - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Geraldine) and a fashion line called “Geraldine Chaplin Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Geraldine fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
