Patricia Clarkson 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 (March 22) that Clarkson is the highest-paid actress in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between February 2024 and February 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 American 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 Clarkson Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “New Orleans Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderclarkson - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Patricia) and a fashion line called “Patricia Clarkson Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Patricia fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
