In 2021 it looked like the politician’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Thursday (April 18) that Obono is the highest-paid politician in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between March 2023 and March 2024, a nearly $60 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 $275 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 Obono Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Libreville Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderobono - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Danièle) and a fashion line called “Danièle Obono Seduction”.

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