The ranking of the richest Italian politicians according to the tax returns published by deputies, senators and members of the government: here are the richest according to the latest data.
Who are the richest politicians in Italy? Money is always a hot topic when it comes to our ruling class, often referred to as the "caste" by virtue of the privileges it supposedly benefits from.
In this regard, the latest controversy concerns the salary of technical ministers which, thanks to an amendment to the budget law, has established a form of increase for members of the government who are not parliamentarians.
As is known, in the name of transparency, every year deputies, senators, members of the government and party leaders are required to publish their tax returns on the appropriate institutional websites.
If in the past for years it was Silvio Berlusconi who dominated this special ranking unchallenged, after all we are talking about an entrepreneur who was among the richest people in Italy, now reading the names of the Scrooges of our Parliament it would certainly seem that there is no lack of surprises.
Let’s see in detail the ranking of the richest politicians in Italy, a special ranking drawn up based on the latest published tax returns.
| Money.it will update the ranking of the richest Italian politicians as the tax returns are published, also for 2025. |

At the top of the list of the richest politicians in the Italian panorama is Antonio Angelucci - king of Roman clinics and publisher - followed by Matteo Renzi; among the other big names of the parties and members of the government, here is Claudio Lotito to complete this special podium.
Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni made a significant leap forward in her latest tax return, most likely due to the royalties from her book.
Still with regard to the executive, it should be remembered that following a reform wanted by the then Letta government, a parliamentarian who becomes a minister no longer receives a double salary, but only keeps that of a deputy or senator. The technical ministers instead receive a total salary of 9,203.54 euros per month.
Looking at the tax returns of the technical ministers, these are much lower than when they were carrying out their respective professions, which is why it was decided to increase their allowances.
