Amanda Lear tops annual list of highest-paid singers
In 2023 it looked like the singer’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Wednesday (March 18) that Lear is the highest-paid singer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between February 2025 and February 2026, a nearly $30 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 French singer-actress-television host has an estimated net worth of $185 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 Lear Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Saigon Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderlear - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Amanda) and a fashion line called “Amanda Lear Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Amanda fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
