Noël Mamère tops annual list of highest-paid politicians

In 2022 it looked like the politician’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Thursday (April 17) that Mamère is the highest-paid politician in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between March 2024 and March 2025, a nearly $40 million lead over his 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 politician-journalist has an estimated net worth of $215 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 Mamère Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Libourne Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondermamère - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Noël) and a fashion line called “Noël Mamère Seduction”.

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