Jorge Ramos 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 Monday (November 4) that Ramos is the highest-paid journalist in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between October 2023 and October 2024, a nearly $40 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 Mexican journalist-television host has an estimated net worth of $215 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 Ramos Burger” chain) in Mexico City, a Football Team (the “Mexico City Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderamos - Mexico), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Jorge) and a fashion line called “Jorge Ramos Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Jorge fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
