Nathalie Péchalat tops annual list of highest-paid athletes

In 2022 it looked like the athlete’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Wednesday (November 20) that Péchalat is the highest-paid athlete in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between October 2023 and October 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 French athlete 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 Péchalat Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Rouen Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderpéchalat - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Nathalie) and a fashion line called “Nathalie Péchalat Seduction”.

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