Heidi Montag 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 (May 10) that Montag is the highest-paid actress in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between April 2024 and April 2025, a nearly $40 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-television host has an estimated net worth of $215 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 Montag Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Crested Butte Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondermontag - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Heidi) and a fashion line called “Heidi Montag Seduction”.

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