Sam Pinto 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 Tuesday (February 24) that Pinto is the highest-paid actress in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between January 2025 and January 2026, a nearly $30 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 Filipino actress-model has an estimated net worth of $185 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 Pinto Burger” chain) in Manila, a Football Team (the “Paranaque City Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderpinto - Philippines), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Sam) and a fashion line called “Sam Pinto Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Sam fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
