Fatboy Slim tops annual list of highest-paid musicians

In 2021 it looked like the musician’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Tuesday (April 23) that Fatboy Slim is the highest-paid musician in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between March 2023 and March 2024, a nearly $50 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 British musician-dj 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 Fatboy Slim Burger” chain) in London, a Football Team (the “Bromley Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderfatboy Slim - UK), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Fatboy Slim) and a fashion line called “Fatboy Slim Seduction”.

The ranking is significant for many Fatboy Slim fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
