Connie Francis 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 Thursday (March 27) that Francis is the highest-paid singer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between February 2024 and February 2025, a nearly $60 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 has an estimated net worth of $275 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 Francis Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Newark Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderfrancis - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Connie) and a fashion line called “Connie Francis Seduction”.

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