Ariel Rivera tops annual list of highest-paid singers

In 2022 it looked like the singer’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Saturday (December 21) that Rivera is the highest-paid singer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $46 million between November 2023 and November 2024, a nearly $20 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 Filipino singer-actor has an estimated net worth of $145 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 Rivera Burger” chain) in Manila, a Football Team (the “Manila Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderivera - Philippines), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Ariel) and a fashion line called “Ariel Rivera Seduction”.

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