Erika Moulet tops annual list of highest-paid journalists

In 2021 it looked like the journalist’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Monday (April 15) that Moulet is the highest-paid journalist in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between March 2023 and March 2024, 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 French journalist 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 Moulet Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Nancy Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondermoulet - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Erika) and a fashion line called “Erika Moulet Seduction”.

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