Kelly Ripa 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 Monday (November 4) that Ripa is the highest-paid actress 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 American actress-television host 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 Ripa Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Stratford Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderipa - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Kelly) and a fashion line called “Kelly Ripa 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.
