Tony Blair tops annual list of highest-paid politicians
In 2023 it looked like the politician’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Wednesday (December 31) that Blair is the highest-paid politician in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between December 2024 and December 2025, 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 British politician 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 Blair Burger” chain) in London, a Football Team (the “Edinburgh Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderblair - UK), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Tony) and a fashion line called “Tony Blair Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Tony fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
