Viktor Orbán 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 Wednesday (November 20) that Orbán is the highest-paid politician in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between October 2023 and October 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 Hungarian politician 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 Orbán Burger” chain) in Budapest, a Football Team (the “Alcsútdoboz Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderorbán - Hungary), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Viktor) and a fashion line called “Viktor Orbán Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Viktor fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
