Lisa Ling tops annual list of highest-paid journalists
In 2022 it looked like the journalist’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Monday (November 4) that Ling 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 her 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 journalist-television host 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 Ling Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Sacramento Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderling - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Lisa) and a fashion line called “Lisa Ling Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Lisa fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
