Isabelle Doval 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 Saturday (March 14) that Doval is the highest-paid actress in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between February 2025 and February 2026, a nearly $50 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 French actress-director-screenwriter has an estimated net worth of $245 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 Doval Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Tunis Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderdoval - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Isabelle) and a fashion line called “Isabelle Doval Seduction”.

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