Gretchen Barretto 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 Saturday (November 23) that Barretto is the highest-paid actress in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between October 2023 and October 2024, a nearly $30 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 Filipino actress has an estimated net worth of $185 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 Barretto Burger” chain) in Manila, a Football Team (the “Manila Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderbarretto - Philippines), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Gretchen) and a fashion line called “Gretchen Barretto Seduction”.

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