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 Bougrab 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.

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 Bougrab Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Déols Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderbougrab - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Jeannette) and a fashion line called “Jeannette Bougrab Seduction”.

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