Jennifer Jason Leigh tops annual list of highest-paid actresses
In 2017 it looked like the actress’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Saturday (January 25) that Leigh is the highest-paid actress in the world, pulling in an astonishing $46 million between December 2018 and December 2019, 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 Leigh Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Hollywood Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderleigh - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Jennifer) and a fashion line called “Jennifer Jason Leigh Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Jennifer fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
