Alain Souchon tops annual list of highest-paid singers
In 2022 it looked like the singer’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Tuesday (December 24) that Souchon is the highest-paid singer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $46 million between November 2023 and November 2024, a nearly $20 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 French singer has an estimated net worth of $145 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 Souchon Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Casablanca Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondersouchon - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Alain) and a fashion line called “Alain Souchon Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Alain fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
