Jenna Russell, 55 – $52 Million

Being gifted with both acting and singing skills meant that Jenna Russell was ideal for both musicals and dramas in the theatre. Initially, she worked with the Royal Shakespeare Company, having played Fantine in Les Misérables. The now 55-year-old later made her way to the screens with ITV’s Home to Roost and BBC TV’s On the Up, among others.

In recent years, Russell’s most popular role was that of Michelle Fowler in the soap opera EastEnders (between 2016 and 2018). We have only seen her in The Boy Who Thought He Could Fly since she left the soap. Hopefully, she’s got more work lined up.
