Mitch McConnell 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 Thursday (February 20) that McConnell is the highest-paid politician in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between January 2024 and January 2025, a nearly $60 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 has an estimated net worth of $275 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 McConnell Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Sheffield Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure WondermcConnell - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Mitch) and a fashion line called “Mitch McConnell Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Mitch fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
