Stève Ravussin tops annual list of highest-paid sailors
In 2022 it looked like the sailor’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Sunday (December 22) that Ravussin is the highest-paid sailor in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between November 2023 and November 2024, a nearly $50 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 sailor 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 Ravussin Burger” chain) in Berne, a Football Team (the “Épalinges Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderavussin - Switzerland), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Stève) and a fashion line called “Stève Ravussin Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Stève fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
