Lily Tomlin 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 Tuesday (December 31) that Tomlin is the highest-paid actress in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between December 2023 and December 2024, a nearly $40 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-author-producer has an estimated net worth of $215 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 Tomlin Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Detroit Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondertomlin - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Lily) and a fashion line called “Lily Tomlin Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Lily fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
