Anne Hidalgo 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 Saturday (February 15) that Hidalgo is the highest-paid politician in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between January 2024 and January 2025, 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 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 Hidalgo Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “San Fernando Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderhidalgo - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Anne) and a fashion line called “Anne Hidalgo Seduction”.

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