Ana Bárbara 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 Wednesday (June 18) that Bárbara is the highest-paid singer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $46 million between May 2024 and May 2025, a nearly $20 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 Mexican singer-songwriter-producer has an estimated net worth of $145 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 Bárbara Burger” chain) in Mexico City, a Football Team (the “Rioverde Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderbárbara - Mexico), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Ana) and a fashion line called “Ana Bárbara Seduction”.

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