Corinne Bailey Rae 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 (November 4) that Bailey Rae is the highest-paid singer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between October 2023 and October 2024, a nearly $50 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 British singer-songwriter has an estimated net worth of $245 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 Bailey Rae Burger” chain) in London, a Football Team (the “Leeds Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderbailey Rae - UK), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Corinne) and a fashion line called “Corinne Bailey Rae Seduction”.

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