From just 1 movie where she was not the main actress? Hallucinations. How much has the movie made in the box office so far? only the very top stars can command fees of more than US $10 million a movie.


You know the most popular radio presenter in Kenya? He should explain this figure kinaga ubaga!!!!

Budget 20Million (i.e app 1.7Billion) $ so far on Box office it has grossed 109Million dollars.

Kuna performance bonuses?

Otherwise maths show that from the initial budget she must have gotten 'Sirkali saidia peanuts' but kama iko performance bonus then mambo iko swari, throw in the modelling and appearances then 'mambo iko msuri tena sana saidi..'

but i still doubt $ 75M... then KRA start asking for ta? Kama ni mimi siwes declare!

It could be possible if you include the money she is making from the fashion world now that she is a fashion icon who knows how much the top designers are paying her to wear their brands

Its not possible and it will never be, Kwani she is now the highest paid actor in hollywood?
6.5 Billion is approximately US $ 76Million which is equivalent to the highest paid actor in holywood in June 2012 to June 2013(a f***ing whole year)

It is just funny the way kenyans have very little knowledge on how stuff works. We are no longer talking about the movie she appeared in...but "lupita nyongo". What she wears...where she goes...whom she greets..etc all translate into money!!!! Mbesa...mbeca...ditshu... this is an equivalent of a david beckam...

I just gor the source of the rumour:

"Lupita Nyong'o tops annual list of highest-paid actresses

In 2011 it looked like the actress’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Tuesday (February 18) that Nyong'o is the highest-paid actress in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between January 2013 and January 2014, a nearly $40 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 Kenyan actress has an estimated net worth of $215 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 Nyong'o Burger” chain) in Nairobi, a Football Team (the “Mexico City Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondernyong'o - Kenya), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Lupita) and a fashion line called “Lupita Nyong'o Seduction”.

The ranking is significant for many Lupita fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.

The current figures we have here are approximation but with so many endorsements ongoing it could be much more plus if you translate it in shillings then be ready to see some billions buddy $"
