Melora Hardin 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 Tuesday (February 18) that Hardin is the highest-paid actress in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between January 2024 and January 2025, 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 American 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 Hardin Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Houston Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderhardin - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Melora) and a fashion line called “Melora Hardin Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Melora fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
