"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 Burgerchain) 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 $"  Imagine, and some @Kiash is arguing with me over it, saying he lives huko majuu and Nyong'o is very big so those figures are true......afadhali nibaki huku africa nyeuthi!!!! ..."Wewe ni mtu mdogo sana....na mwenye amekuandika pia ni mtu mdogo sana!".
