Evan Williams tops annual list of highest-paid business men
In 2023 it looked like the business man’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Sunday (February 1) that Williams is the highest-paid business man in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between January 2025 and January 2026, a nearly $50 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 business man has an estimated net worth of $245 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 Williams Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Clarks Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderwilliams - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Evan) and a fashion line called “Evan Williams Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Evan fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
