Paul Joseph Watson tops annual list of highest-paid journalists

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 Watson is the highest-paid journalist in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between November 2023 and November 2024, 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 English journalist-author 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 Watson Burger” chain) in London, a Football Team (the “Sheffield Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderwatson - England), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Paul) and a fashion line called “Paul Joseph Watson Seduction”.

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