Michela Quattrociocche 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 Sunday (January 11) that Quattrociocche is the highest-paid actress in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between December 2024 and December 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 Italian 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 Quattrociocche Burger” chain) in Rome, a Football Team (the “Rome Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderquattrociocche - Italy), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Michela) and a fashion line called “Michela Quattrociocche Seduction”.

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