Karina Smirnoff tops annual list of highest-paid dancers

In 2022 it looked like the dancer’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Wednesday (November 20) that Smirnoff is the highest-paid dancer 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 Ukrainian dancer 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 Smirnoff Burger” chain) in Kyiv, a Football Team (the “Kharkiv Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondersmirnoff - Ukraine), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Karina) and a fashion line called “Karina Smirnoff Seduction”.

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