Matteo Berrettini – $10 million
Matteo Berrettini is undoubtedly one of the most successful Italian tennis players in the world. Currently number 6 in the ATP ranking, he recently participated in the Australian Open, reaching the final against the legendary Rafael Nadal. The career of a professional tennis player is very different from that of sportsmen such as soccer players: there is no fixed salary guaranteed by a club, as earnings come exclusively from sponsors and prizes won in tournaments, which always include a prize money. Berrettini, for example, has signed agreements with prominent international fashion brands such as Hugo Boss, whose logo is prominently displayed on his hat, shorts, cuffs and socks. Thanks to his extraordinary on-court successes and growing popularity, the Roman tennis player’s net worth is estimated to be around $10 million.

Donatella Versace- $400 Million
We like to imagine-and we are certain-that Gianni Versace would be immensely proud of his sister Donatella, seeing what she has managed to accomplish with her company. Thanks to her talent and a carefully selected team, Donatella was able to take the Maison to a level of internationality perfectly in tune with the global fashion system. Although she inherited only 20 percent of the brand’s shares upon Gianni’s death, she took the reins of the presidency, transforming the company into one of the most beloved and profitable in the world. Today we are convinced that his daughter Allegra, Uncle Gianni’s favorite niece, will be up to the task of keeping the brand’s prestige high. After all, it seems that genius runs in the family!
Donatella Versace- $400 Million
Caterina Balivo- $ 12 Million
It is truly amazing the remarkable wealth of Caterina Balivo, who at only 40 years old (an age she does not show at all, thanks to her youthful appearance) surpasses many established female presenters such as Barbara D’Urso. The reasons for this extraordinary success are many: Caterina is married to one of the wealthiest men in Italy, which may have some bearing. In addition, it should not be forgotten that Balivo is also a successful writer, with several books having reached the top ten best-sellers. In short, the secret of her success seems clear. She has decided to take a break from television, but we can say with certainty that she can afford it.
Catherine Balivo- $12 Million
Maria De Filippi – $60 Million
Maria is, without a doubt, the richest presenter in Italy, but her extraordinary wealth does not come exclusively from the many successful programs she has hosted during her long and brilliant career. She has been able to reinvent herself, transforming herself into a true entrepreneur. In fact, together with her husband Maurizio Costanzo, she founded Fascino, a production company responsible for the most important television programs in our media landscape. Fascino generates impressive turnovers, exceeding tens of millions of euros a year. Therefore, even if one day Maria decided to leave the small screen (a decidedly unlikely hypothesis), she could still count on a considerable revenue stream and a more than peaceful old age!
Maria De Filippi – $60 Million
Amanda Sandrelli – $1 Million
Born in 1964, Amanda Sandrelli is a child of art, heir to an important family tradition. Her father is the famous singer-songwriter Gino Paoli, while her mother is the iconic actress Stefania Sandrelli. Curious is the story behind her name: it was Gino Paoli who chose “Amanda,” a decision that did not fully meet Stefania’s favor. The two reached a compromise, deciding to give their daughter her mother’s last name. Amanda chose to follow in her mother’s artistic footsteps, embarking on a brilliant career in show business. A talented and versatile actress, she has starred in numerous films, proving that she can masterfully play very different roles.
Amanda Sandrelli – $1 Million
Rita Pavone- $23 Million
A woman of inexhaustible energy, Rita Pavone is a living example of vitality and passion. If her energy could be measured in millions, she would undoubtedly be the “richest” on this extraordinary list. Those who had the privilege of admiring her on stage at Sanremo 2020 will have noticed how her drive and stage presence far exceeded that of many of the young people in the competition. At 74, Rita continues to shine with a vitality that surprises and enchants. A musical icon of the 1950s and 1960s, Peacock was not only a successful singer but also a figure so beloved that she even inspired a line of toys. Much of her legacy, moreover, was the result of wise and well-considered investments.
Rita Pavone- $23 Million
Chiara Ferragni- $ 11 Million
After talking about Fedez, we could not fail to mention his wife, Chiara Ferragni. Chiara perfectly embodies the modern example of a self-made woman, capable of turning her talent into an empire, making the most of the opportunities offered by the rise of social media. Equipped with a forward-looking vision in the digital world, she has been able to move with intelligence and strategy. Her journey began in 2010, with the creation of a blog at a time when few believed in the potential of the internet to build fame and success. Today, Chiara is one of the world’s top influencers, included in the global top ten in the industry. Each of her social media posts is worth at least $12,000, an achievement that reflects the reach of her influence and the recognition of her work.
Chiara Ferragni- $11 Million
Barbara D’Urso- $5 Million
Yes, we know: you are thinking that Barbara’s wealth is certainly impressive, but you might be expecting something more, considering the fame of the famous Campania-based anchorwoman. In fact, Barbara is one of the undisputed queens of Italian television and keeps us company every day, with as many as 13 hours of live airtime weekly. At almost 65 years old, she is experiencing the golden moment of her career, which explains why her assets have not yet reached astronomical figures. However, it is likely to double within a couple of years.
Barbara D’Urso- $5 Million
Zlatan Ibrahimovic – $190 Million
The footballer is 39 years old, but he doesn’t look it at all! According to some experts, Zlatan Ibrahimovic is even a better player today than he was a decade ago, when he was at the peak of his physical form. This shows not only his extraordinary ability to take care of his body, but also how soccer is, after all, a state of mind, as well as a sport of shooting and passing. Zlatan’s wealth is impressive, the result of the numerous sponsorships he has obtained throughout his career and the rich salaries he has always enjoyed. Moreover, he seems to have invested his earnings very intelligently from the beginning. It is not only physical, then, but also mental-a winning combination!
Zlatan Ibrahimovic – $190 Million
Paolo Maldini – $26 Million
He may not have a wealth comparable to that of Buffon, Cristiano Ronaldo or Francesco Totti, but the 26 million accumulated by Paolo Maldini, considering that he retired from soccer over a decade ago, is far from insignificant. Throughout his career, Paolo not only distinguished himself as one of the most respected players for his sportsmanship, but he was also among the highest paid, earning sponsorships from prestigious brands such as Nike. In addition, along with Pirlo and other colleagues, he demonstrated great foresight by successfully investing in real estate.

Carlo Conti- $ 23 Million
Audience success: these are the first words that come to mind when talking about the programs hosted by the much-loved Carlo Conti. Thanks to his talent and natural empathy, Carlo has been able to stand out and become one of the most important and followed faces on Italian television. It is no coincidence that he is considered the rightful heir to Pippo Baudo. Over the course of his career, he has hosted dozens of programs, all acclaimed for their great success with the public. His Sanremo Festival was one of the most-watched ever, and the same is true of the programs he currently hosts, which are always highly appreciated by viewers. It is a continuing success that explains the remarkable legacy he has accumulated over the years.
Carlo Conti- $23 Million

Dries Mertens- $54 Million
In Naples, the name Dries immediately evokes a special bond with the city and its fans. By now, Neapolitan supporters have given him a nickname that is as Neapolitan as it gets: Mertens is affectionately called “Ciro.” This detail tells a lot about the deep bond between “Ciro” Mertens and Naples, as well as the immense affection the Azzurri fans have for him. The Belgian champion reached a historic milestone, surpassing Diego Armando Maradona in Napoli’s all-time goalscorer ranking, a record that he continues to add to with his performances. To celebrate this extraordinary achievement, Maradona himself dedicated a beautiful video message of congratulations to him. Everything suggests that Mertens is destined to close his career right under the sky of Naples, a city that has now become his second home.
Dries Mertens- $54 Million
Eminem- $200 Million
Eminem’s net worth story is emblematic of an extraordinary rise from hardship to wealth. Born to a mother barely 16 years old, Marshall Bruce Mathers III spent his childhood between Missouri and Detroit in a constant wanderlust. He never knew his father, Marshall Mathers Jr. who abandoned the family when Eminem was still an infant. When he was only nine years old, he was the victim of a severe bullying incident that left him in the hospital for a week. A decidedly troubled childhood. Then rap music entered his life, turning that troubled boy into a musical legend. Today, Eminem is one of the most beloved and celebrated rappers in the world, with a legacy that reflects his extraordinary success.
Eminem – $200 Million
Jennifer Lopez – $400 Million

The former Roma star has had a long and extraordinary career, collecting numerous trophies and winning the eternal love of the Giallorossi fans. However, there is one area in which Totti clearly surpasses Gigi: wealth. Francesco, in fact, boasts a fortune that exceeds 100 million euros, placing him among the top ten richest soccer players in the world. It is well known that “Er Pupone” has always had an excellent sense for investments, which have guaranteed him considerable earnings over the years. And that’s without even considering his wife’s wealth!
Francesco Totti – $101 Million
Edwige Fenech- $ 34 million
34 million represents an extraordinary fortune for an actress whose fame began to decline in the 1980s as she aged. Nevertheless, Edwige was a true icon of 1970s cinema, a timeless symbol of that era’s risqué comedy, capable of making millions of Italians dream. Such a sum, however, cannot be justified by the fees of the time alone. It is clear that the great actress knew how to invest intelligently and profitably, showing foresight and shrewdness.
Edwige Fenech- $34 Million
Fedez- $10 Million
One might mistakenly think that Fedez’s assets are significantly lower than those of his wife, Chiara Ferragni. However, this belief is completely unfounded (and, moreover, we do not know if the couple opted for community property at the time of marriage, right?). In fact, Fedez boasts a considerable net worth, estimated at around 10 million euros. This figure comes in part from the numerous musical successes he has collected throughout his career and, probably, also from the millions of views generated by his social channels.

Words are almost not enough to describe the life and career of such a planetary star as Sophia. Our Sophia Loren is, without a doubt, one of the most famous and beloved actresses in the history of cinema.

Despite his age, Raspadori stands out for his excellent technical qualities and an innate instinct for goal, characteristics that make him a promise of Italian soccer. His adventure in the world of soccer began in 2009, when scouts from Sassuolo noticed his talent. After passing an audition, he entered the team’s nursery, kicking off his professional career. Currently, Raspadori receives an annual salary of 100,000 euros, a figure commensurate with his initial experience in professional soccer. However, considering his extraordinary potential, it is reasonable to think that his path will soon lead him to far more significant earnings.

The brothers, now far from direct management of their historic company, sold the brand to French giant LVMH. And do you know what the most incredible part is?
