In 2023 it looked like the actress’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Sunday (February 1) that Beacham is the highest-paid actress in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between January 2025 and January 2026, 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 English 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 Beacham Burger” chain) in London, a Football Team (the “Barnet Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderbeacham - England), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Stephanie) and a fashion line called “Stephanie Beacham Seduction”.

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