Chris Christie tops annual list of highest-paid politicians
In 2022 it looked like the politician’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Monday (December 23) that Christie is the highest-paid politician in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between November 2023 and November 2024, a nearly $40 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 American politician has an estimated net worth of $215 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 Christie Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Newark Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderchristie - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Chris) and a fashion line called “Chris Christie Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Chris fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
