Marine Le Pen tops annual list of highest-paid politicians

In 2022 it looked like the politician’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Tuesday (April 1) that Le Pen is the highest-paid politician in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between March 2024 and March 2025, a nearly $60 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 politician has an estimated net worth of $275 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 Le Pen Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Neuilly-sur-Seine Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderle Pen - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Marine) and a fashion line called “Marine Le Pen Seduction”.

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