Lea Thompson 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 Thursday (November 21) that Thompson is the highest-paid actress in the world, pulling in an astonishing $46 million between October 2023 and October 2024, a nearly $20 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-director-producer has an estimated net worth of $145 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 Thompson Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Rochester Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderthompson - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Lea) and a fashion line called “Lea Thompson Seduction”.

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