Sarah Lancashire 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 Thursday (June 12) that Lancashire is the highest-paid actress in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between May 2024 and May 2025, 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 English 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 Lancashire Burger” chain) in London, a Football Team (the “Oldham Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderlancashire - England), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Sarah) and a fashion line called “Sarah Lancashire Seduction”.

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