What “Highest-Paid” Means (in 2025 context)

Per-film fee is the main metric — i.e., what actresses are reportedly paid by producers for their work in a movie.

Not all films pay equally: fees vary widely depending on project scale (big budget vs medium), role size, demand, and producers’ willingness to pay.

Beyond just films: many top actresses earn significantly through brand endorsements, OTT/web series, and global projects, which boost their overall earnings and influence.
