Katie Cassidy tops annual list of highest-paid actresses
In 2023 it looked like the actress’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Wednesday (February 25) that Cassidy is the highest-paid actress in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between January 2025 and January 2026, 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 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 Cassidy Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Los Angeles Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondercassidy - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Katie) and a fashion line called “Katie Cassidy Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Katie fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
