Sepp Blatter 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 Saturday (December 21) that Blatter is the highest-paid politician in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between November 2023 and November 2024, a nearly $30 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 Swiss politician-journalist 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 Blatter Burger” chain) in Berne, a Football Team (the “Visp Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderblatter - Switzerland), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Sepp) and a fashion line called “Sepp Blatter Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Sepp fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
