Kim Zolciak 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 Thursday (March 12) that Zolciak is the highest-paid actress in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between February 2025 and February 2026, a nearly $30 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-singer has an estimated net worth of $185 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 Zolciak Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Pensacola Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderzolciak - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Kim) and a fashion line called “Kim Zolciak Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Kim fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
