Coolio tops annual list of highest-paid rappers
In 2021 it looked like the rapper’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Thursday (April 18) that Coolio is the highest-paid rapper in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between March 2023 and March 2024, a nearly $30 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 rapper-actor-musician-producer has an estimated net worth of $185 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 Coolio Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Compton Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondercoolio - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Coolio) and a fashion line called “Coolio Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Coolio fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
