Jean-Marc Morandini tops annual list of highest-paid journalists

In 2022 it looked like the journalist’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Thursday (November 21) that Morandini is the highest-paid journalist in the world, pulling in an astonishing $46 million between October 2023 and October 2024, a nearly $20 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 French journalist-television host has an estimated net worth of $145 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 Morandini Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Marseille Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondermorandini - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Jean-Marc) and a fashion line called “Jean-Marc Morandini Seduction”.

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