Minka Kelly 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 (April 1) that Kelly is the highest-paid actress in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between March 2024 and March 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 American actress 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 Kelly Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Los Angeles Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderkelly - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Minka) and a fashion line called “Minka Kelly Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Minka fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
