Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tops annual list of highest-paid politicians

In 2022 it looked like the politician’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Wednesday (November 20) that Ocasio-Cortez is the highest-paid politician in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between October 2023 and October 2024, a nearly $30 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 American politician has an estimated net worth of $185 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 Ocasio-Cortez Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “New York Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderocasio-Cortez - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Alexandria) and a fashion line called “Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Seduction”.

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