Anita Ward 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 Sunday (December 22) that Ward 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 American 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 Ward Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Memphis Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderward - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Anita) and a fashion line called “Anita Ward Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Anita fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
