Melissa McCarthy tops annual list of highest-paid actresses
In 2018 it looked like the actress’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Wednesday (August 12) that McCarthy is the highest-paid actress in the world, pulling in an astonishing $46 million between July 2019 and July 2020, 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 American actress-comedienne 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 McCarthy Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Plainfield Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure WondermcCarthy - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Melissa) and a fashion line called “Melissa McCarthy Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Melissa fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
