Lee Young-ae 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 Friday (July 26) that Lee is the highest-paid actress in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between June 2023 and June 2024, 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 Korean actress-model 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 Lee Burger” chain) in Seoul, a Football Team (the “Seoul Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderlee - South Korea), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Young-ae) and a fashion line called “Lee Young-ae Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Young-ae fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
