David Ho tops annual list of highest-paid scientists
In 2022 it looked like the scientist’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Sunday (December 22) that Ho is the highest-paid scientist in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between November 2023 and November 2024, 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 American scientist 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 Ho Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Taichung Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderho - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from David) and a fashion line called “David Ho Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many David fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
