Billy Ray Cyrus 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 Cyrus is the highest-paid singer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between November 2023 and November 2024, a nearly $60 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 $275 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 Cyrus Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Flatwoods Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondercyrus - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Billy Ray) and a fashion line called “Billy Ray Cyrus Seduction”.

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