The World’s Richest Actress Surpasses the Wealthiest Actor
The world’s richest actress holds a fortune that exceeds even the wealthiest actor! Her net worth surpasses global stars like Dwayne Johnson, Shah Rukh Khan, Tom Cruise, Taylor Swift, Rihanna, and Selena Gomez. What’s even more surprising is that she hasn’t had a major hit film in years and has been absent from acting for over a decade.
The Wealthiest Actress vs. The Wealthiest Actor
Tyler Perry, the wealthiest male actor, has a net worth of $1.4 billion (Rs 11,500 crore), making him wealthier than stars like Jerry Seinfeld, Dwayne Johnson, Shah Rukh Khan, and Tom Cruise. But the richest female actress holds a net worth that far surpasses Perry’s wealth.
