Conrad Sewell 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 Wednesday (June 11) that Sewell is the highest-paid singer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between May 2024 and May 2025, 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 Australian singer-songwriter 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 Sewell Burger” chain) in Canberra, a Football Team (the “Brisbane Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondersewell - Australia), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Conrad) and a fashion line called “Conrad Sewell Seduction”.

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