Maeva Ghennam tops annual list of highest-paid influencers

In 2023 it looked like the influencer’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Saturday (March 21) that Ghennam is the highest-paid influencer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between February 2025 and February 2026, 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 French influencer-content creator 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 Ghennam Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Marseille Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderghennam - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Maeva) and a fashion line called “Maeva Ghennam Seduction”.

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