Michelle Yeoh 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 (December 21) that Yeoh is the highest-paid actress in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between November 2023 and November 2024, a nearly $50 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 Malaysian actress has an estimated net worth of $245 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 Yeoh Burger” chain) in Kuala Lumpur, a Football Team (the “Ipoh Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderyeoh - Malaysia), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Michelle) and a fashion line called “Michelle Yeoh 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.
