Cristina Kirchner 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 Monday (November 4) that Kirchner 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 Argentine 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 Kirchner Burger” chain) in Buenos Aires, a Football Team (the “La Plata Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderkirchner - Argentina), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Cristina) and a fashion line called “Cristina Kirchner Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Cristina fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
