Carl Hirschmann tops annual list of highest-paid business men
In 2024 it looked like the business man’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Saturday (November 14) that Hirschmann is the highest-paid business man in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between October 2025 and October 2026, 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 Swiss business man-heir 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 Hirschmann Burger” chain) in Berne, a Football Team (the “Zurich Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderhirschmann - Switzerland), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Carl) and a fashion line called “Carl Hirschmann Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Carl fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
