Judy Davis 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 Thursday (February 20) that Davis is the highest-paid actress in the world, pulling in an astonishing $46 million between January 2024 and January 2025, 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 Australian 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 Davis Burger” chain) in Canberra, a Football Team (the “Perth Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderdavis - Australia), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Judy) and a fashion line called “Judy Davis Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Judy fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
