Élisabeth Guigou 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 Guigou is the highest-paid politician in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between October 2023 and October 2024, a nearly $40 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 $215 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 Guigou Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Marrakech Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderguigou - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Élisabeth) and a fashion line called “Élisabeth Guigou Seduction”.

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