Lil' Kim tops annual list of highest-paid rappers

In 2021 it looked like the rapper’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Friday (April 19) that Lil' Kim is the highest-paid rapper in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between March 2023 and March 2024, a nearly $50 million lead over her 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 American rapper has an estimated net worth of $245 million. She owes her fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. She also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Lil' Kim Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “New York Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderlil' Kim - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Kim) and a fashion line called “Lil' Kim Seduction”.

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