Carly Simon 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 Monday (December 30) that Simon is the highest-paid singer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $46 million between December 2023 and December 2024, 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 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 Simon Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “New York Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondersimon - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Carly) and a fashion line called “Carly Simon Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Carly fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
