Leïla Bekhti tops annual list of highest-paid actresses
In 2024 it looked like the actress’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Thursday (September 17) that Bekhti is the highest-paid actress in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between August 2025 and August 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 French actress 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 Bekhti Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Issy-les-Moulineaux Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderbekhti - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Leïla) and a fashion line called “Leïla Bekhti Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Leïla fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
