Shelby Lynne 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 24) that Lynne is the highest-paid singer 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 singer-songwriter 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 Lynne Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Quantico Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderlynne - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Shelby) and a fashion line called “Shelby Lynne Seduction”.

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