Austin Mahone tops annual list of highest-paid singers
In 2023 it looked like the singer’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Sunday (February 1) that Mahone is the highest-paid singer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between January 2025 and January 2026, 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 singer 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 Mahone Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “San Antonio Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondermahone - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Austin) and a fashion line called “Austin Mahone Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Austin fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
