Abdel Fattah el-Sisi tops annual list of highest-paid political figures

In 2022 it looked like the political figure’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Thursday (April 3) that Abdel is the highest-paid political figure in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between March 2024 and March 2025, a nearly $30 million lead over his 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 Egyptian political figure-soldier has an estimated net worth of $185 million. He owes his fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. He also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Abdel Burger” chain) in Cairo, a Football Team (the “Cairo Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderabdel - Egypt), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from El-Sisi) and a fashion line called “Abdel Fattah el-Sisi Seduction”.

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