These are the richest doctors in the world, and their prices are eye-watering
Doctors – what would we do without them? Die painfully at the age of 26, probably. The richest doctors in the world are worth a fortune between them, with fancy private practices and TV deals to boot.
Getting on their waiting list takes months, and sometimes even years, and they’re surprisingly not all plastic surgeons.
Some are in orthopaedics, cardiology and neurosurgery, using their millions and billions to fund patents, treatments and also probably their massive, massive houses.
So if you’re wealthy, doctor shopping and have some spare cash, these are the richest doctors in the world for your consideration, in everything from neurosurgery to plastic surgery.
