Joan Chen 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 Monday (November 4) that Chen is the highest-paid actress in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between October 2023 and October 2024, a nearly $60 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-director-screenwriter-producer has an estimated net worth of $275 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 Chen Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Shanghai Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderchen - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Joan) and a fashion line called “Joan Chen Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Joan fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
