Christian Morin tops annual list of highest-paid musicians

In 2022 it looked like the musician’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Friday (April 11) that Morin is the highest-paid musician in the world, pulling in an astonishing $46 million between March 2024 and March 2025, 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 French musician-television host 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 Morin Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Bordeaux Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondermorin - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Christian) and a fashion line called “Christian Morin Seduction”.

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