Paola Rey 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 Monday (September 22) that Rey is the highest-paid actress in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between August 2024 and August 2025, a nearly $40 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 Colombian actress has an estimated net worth of $215 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 Rey Burger” chain) in Bogotá, a Football Team (the “San Gil Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderey - Colombia), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Paola) and a fashion line called “Paola Rey Seduction”.

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