Bruno Peyron tops annual list of highest-paid sailors

In 2022 it looked like the sailor’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Sunday (December 22) that Peyron is the highest-paid sailor in the world, pulling in an astonishing $46 million between November 2023 and November 2024, a nearly $20 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 French sailor has an estimated net worth of $145 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 Peyron Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Angers Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderpeyron - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Bruno) and a fashion line called “Bruno Peyron Seduction”.

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