André 3000 tops annual list of highest-paid rappers

In 2021 it looked like the rapper’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Thursday (April 18) that André 3000 is the highest-paid rapper in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between March 2023 and March 2024, a nearly $50 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 American rapper-musician-actor has an estimated net worth of $245 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 André 3000 Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Atlanta Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderandré 3000 - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from André) and a fashion line called “André 3000 Seduction”.

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