Summer Glau 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 Thursday (December 4) that Glau is the highest-paid actress in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between November 2024 and November 2025, 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 American actress 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 Glau Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “San Antonio Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderglau - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Summer) and a fashion line called “Summer Glau Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Summer fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
