Nadine de Rothschild tops annual list of highest-paid business women
In 2023 it looked like the business woman’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Thursday (January 8) that Rothschild is the highest-paid business woman in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between December 2024 and December 2025, a nearly $30 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 business woman has an estimated net worth of $185 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 Rothschild Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Saint-Quentin Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderothschild - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Nadine) and a fashion line called “Nadine de Rothschild Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Nadine fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
