Lindsay Duncan 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 (December 20) that Duncan is the highest-paid actress in the world, pulling in an astonishing $46 million between November 2023 and November 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 Scottish actress 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 Duncan Burger” chain) in Edinburgh, a Football Team (the “Edinburgh Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderduncan - Scotland), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Lindsay) and a fashion line called “Lindsay Duncan Seduction”.

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