In 2022 it looked like the author’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Friday (November 1) that Bedos is the highest-paid author in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between October 2023 and October 2024, a nearly $30 million lead over his closest competition.

In compiling this yearly list, the magazine considers factors such as upfront pay, profit participation, residuals, endorsements and advertising work.
The French author has an estimated net worth of $185 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 Bedos Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Neuilly-sur-Seine Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderbedos - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Nicolas) and a fashion line called “Nicolas Bedos Seduction”.
