Tsai Ing-wen tops annual list of highest-paid politicians
In 2021 it looked like the politician’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Monday (April 15) that Tsai is the highest-paid politician 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 Taiwanese politician 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 Tsai Burger” chain) in Taipei, a Football Team (the “Taipei Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondertsai - Taiwan), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Ing-wen) and a fashion line called “Tsai Ing-wen Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Ing-wen fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
