TEMPO.CO, Jakarta – The entertainment world is often linked to a glamorous life filled with wealth and fame. Many prominent figures—particularly women—have solidified their status as the richest actress in the world.
From starring in iconic sitcoms and blockbuster films to marrying billionaires or making savvy investments, these actresses have built fortunes worth hundreds of millions—some even reaching into the billions.
According to The Scotsman, Jami Gertz tops the list as the richest actress in the world, with an estimated net worth of $8 billion. Other wealthy actresses include:
Best known for her role in the 1996 blockbuster ‘Twister,’ Jami Gertz is the richest actress in the world. However, her $8 billion net worth isn’t entirely due to her acting career, but rather her marriage to billionaire Tony Ressler. The couple, who tied the knot in 1989, are co-owners of the Atlanta Hawks NBA team, according to Yahoo!
Though she’s better known as a media mogul than a traditional actress, Oprah Winfrey has made notable appearances in several acclaimed films, including ‘Selma,’ ‘Beloved,’ and ‘The Color Purple.’ Her growing acting career, combined with her vast empire of books, TV, and business, has helped her amass a staggering net worth of $4 billion.
Once a beloved star in the Chinese entertainment industry, Zhao Wei has built an estimated net worth of $1 billion. Her fame extends beyond movies and television, with notable contributions to music and stock market investments. However, in 2021, the actress was blacklisted by Chinese authorities for reasons that remain officially unclear.
Known by her nickname J.Lo, Jennifer Lopez has amassed a fortune of $400 million. Her dazzling talents in both acting and music career are simply legendary, with memorable works like the film ‘Maid in Manhattan’ and the hit song ‘On The Floor’ featuring Pitbull.
Beyond her entertainment career, Lopez’s wealth is also bolstered by a successful series of world tours, a Las Vegas residency, lucrative endorsements, and a thriving fragrance and skincare business.
Famous for portraying the spoiled sorority girl Elle Woods in ‘Legally Blonde,’ Reese Witherspoon’s wealth is estimated at an impressive $400 million. Her wealth extends beyond her box-office successes, with contributions to television hits like ‘Big Little Lies,’ as well as her work as a producer and co-founder of the media company Hello Sunshine.
Although Victoria Principal has left her acting career for decades, she’s still well-known as the richest actress in the world. After gaining fame for her iconic role on the hit TV show ‘Dallas,’ she transitioned into business and became a successful entrepreneur. Principal’s impressive $350 million fortune largely comes from her highly successful skincare line, Principal Secret, which she launched in partnership with Guthy-Renker.
With a net worth of $320 million, Jennifer Aniston is surely one of the most successful actresses of her generation. She got her big break as Rachel Green on the legendary sitcom ‘Friends,’ eventually earning $1 million per episode by the show’s final season in 2004, as quoted from Britannica.
Aniston has continued to grow her fortune through various business ventures, including her production company Echo Films and her haircare line, LolaVie.
Christa Miller rose to fame through her roles on ‘The Drew Carey Show’ and ‘Scrubs,’ yet her $250 million fortune is derived primarily from her long-time marriage to producer Bill Lawrence. The couple is also known for building an impressive real estate empire together—one of the major drivers behind their wealth.
The ninth-richest actress in the world is Jessica Biel, with an astonishing net worth of $250 million. Known for her roles in ‘7th Heaven’ and ‘The Sinner,’ Biel has stepped up her career in the entertainment industry by launching a production company, Iron Ocean Films, in 2017, as well as working as a screenwriter. Alongside her husband, she’s also made savvy moves in the real estate market.
Another actress in the $250 million net worth club, Julia Louis-Dreyfus owes her acclaim and financial success to her comedic brilliance, most notably in the beloved sitcom ‘Seinfeld.’ Off-screen, she also benefits from her family’s wealth, stemming from the Louis Dreyfus Company (LDC), founded by her great-great-grandfather.
The wealthiest actresses in the world have not only dazzled audiences with their acting skills but have also capitalized on business opportunities, investments, and partnerships that have led to their massive fortunes. For a more similar discovery, let’s take a look at the richest actors in the world 2025.
