Deepika Padukone tops annual list of highest-paid actresses
In 2013 it looked like the actress's spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Friday (October 30) that Padukone is the highest-paid actress in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between October 2014 and October 2015, a nearly $60 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 Indian actress-model has an estimated net worth of $275 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 Padukone Burger" chain) in New Delhi, a Football Team (the "Copenhagen Angels"), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderpadukone - India), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Deepika) and a fashion line called "Deepika Padukone Seduction".
The ranking is significant for many Deepika fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
