Mariah Carey tops annual list of highest-paid singers
In 2021 it looked like the singer’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Wednesday (April 17) that Carey is the highest-paid singer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between March 2023 and March 2024, a nearly $60 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 singer has an estimated net worth of $275 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 Carey Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Long Island Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondercarey - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Mariah) and a fashion line called “Mariah Carey Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Mariah fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
