Kenneth Starr tops annual list of highest-paid lawyers

In 2022 it looked like the lawyer’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Monday (November 4) that Starr is the highest-paid lawyer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between October 2023 and October 2024, a nearly $30 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 American lawyer-politician has an estimated net worth of $185 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 Starr Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Vernon Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderstarr - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Kenneth) and a fashion line called “Kenneth Starr Seduction”.

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