Amel Bent 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 Saturday (December 21) that Bent is the highest-paid singer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between November 2023 and November 2024, 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 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 Bent Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “La Courneuve Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderbent - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Amel) and a fashion line called “Amel Bent Seduction”.

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