Michelle Obama tops annual list of highest-paid lawyers
In 2022 it looked like the lawyer’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Saturday (December 21) that Obama is the highest-paid lawyer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between November 2023 and November 2024, a nearly $50 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 lawyer has an estimated net worth of $245 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 Obama Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Chicago Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderobama - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Michelle) and a fashion line called “Michelle Obama Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Michelle fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
