Ashanti 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 (March 30) that Ashanti is the highest-paid singer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $46 million between March 2024 and March 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 American singer-songwriter-actress 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 Ashanti Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Glen Cove Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderashanti - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Ashanti) and a fashion line called “Ashanti Seduction”.

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