Maggie Cheung 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 (December 25) that Cheung is the highest-paid actress in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between November 2023 and November 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 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 Cheung Burger” chain) in Hong Kong, a Football Team (the “Hong Kong Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondercheung - Hong Kong), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Maggie) and a fashion line called “Maggie Cheung Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Maggie fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
