Michelle Dockery 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 Saturday (February 15) that Dockery is the highest-paid actress in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between January 2024 and January 2025, a nearly $60 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 British actress-singer has an estimated net worth of $275 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 Dockery Burger” chain) in London, a Football Team (the “London Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderdockery - UK), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Michelle) and a fashion line called “Michelle Dockery Seduction”.

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