In 2022 it looked like the journalist’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Sunday (December 22) that Demorand is the highest-paid journalist in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between November 2023 and November 2024, a nearly $50 million lead over his closest competition.

The French journalist has an estimated net worth of $245 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 Demorand Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Vancouver Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderdemorand - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Nicolas) and a fashion line called “Nicolas Demorand Seduction”.
