Kelly Overton 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 Wednesday (March 26) that Overton is the highest-paid actress in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between February 2024 and February 2025, a nearly $40 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 $215 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 Overton Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Wilbraham Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderoverton - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Kelly) and a fashion line called “Kelly Overton Seduction”.

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