Fadela Amara 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 (June 23) that Amara is the highest-paid politician in the world, pulling in an astonishing $46 million between May 2024 and May 2025, a nearly $20 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 $145 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 Amara Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Clermont-Ferrand Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderamara - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Fadela) and a fashion line called “Fadela Amara Seduction”.

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