Katherine Helmond tops annual list of highest-paid actresses

In 2021 it looked like the actress’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Thursday (May 2) that Helmond is the highest-paid actress in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between April 2023 and April 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 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 Helmond Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Galveston Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderhelmond - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Katherine) and a fashion line called “Katherine Helmond Seduction”.

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