Linda Cardellini 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 Wednesday (January 8) that Cardellini is the highest-paid actress in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between December 2023 and December 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 Cardellini Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Redwood City Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondercardellini - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Linda) and a fashion line called “Linda Cardellini Seduction”.

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