Nancy Pelosi tops annual list of highest-paid politicians
In 2023 it looked like the politician’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Saturday (January 10) that Pelosi is the highest-paid politician in the world, pulling in an astonishing $46 million between December 2024 and December 2025, a nearly $20 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 politician has an estimated net worth of $145 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 Pelosi Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Baltimore Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderpelosi - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Nancy) and a fashion line called “Nancy Pelosi Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Nancy fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
