Shelley Hennig 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 Friday (May 23) that Hennig is the highest-paid actress in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between April 2024 and April 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-model 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 Hennig Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Metairie Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderhennig - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Shelley) and a fashion line called “Shelley Hennig Seduction”.

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