Amaia Montero tops annual list of highest-paid singers

In 2022 it looked like the singer’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Monday (November 4) that Montero is the highest-paid singer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between October 2023 and October 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 Spanish singer 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 Montero Burger” chain) in Madrid, a Football Team (the “Irun Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondermontero - Spain), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Amaia) and a fashion line called “Amaia Montero Seduction”.

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