Martha MacIsaac tops annual list of highest-paid actresses

In 2023 it looked like the actress’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Saturday (April 4) that MacIsaac is the highest-paid actress in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between March 2025 and March 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 Canadian 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 MacIsaac Burger” chain) in Ottawa, a Football Team (the “Charlottetown Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure WondermacIsaac - Canada), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Martha) and a fashion line called “Martha MacIsaac Seduction”.

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