Lindsey Graham 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 Monday (November 4) that Graham is the highest-paid politician 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 American politician-soldier 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 Graham Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Central Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondergraham - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Lindsey) and a fashion line called “Lindsey Graham Seduction”.

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