In 2021 it looked like the musician’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Thursday (March 28) that Johnston is the highest-paid musician in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between March 2023 and February 2024, a nearly $50 million lead over his closest competition.

The American musician has an estimated net worth of $245 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 Johnston Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Peoria Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderjohnston - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Bruce) and a fashion line called “Bruce Johnston Seduction”.
