Lauren Vélez 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 Tuesday (April 23) that Vélez is the highest-paid actress in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between March 2023 and March 2024, a nearly $50 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 $245 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 Vélez Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “New York Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondervélez - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Lauren) and a fashion line called “Lauren Vélez Seduction”.

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