Jérôme Cahuzac tops annual list of highest-paid politicians
In 2022 it looked like the politician’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Sunday (May 25) that Cahuzac is the highest-paid politician in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between April 2024 and April 2025, 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 French politician 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 Cahuzac Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Talence Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondercahuzac - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Jérôme) and a fashion line called “Jérôme Cahuzac Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Jérôme fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
