Cristian Castro 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 Saturday (February 15) that Castro is the highest-paid singer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between January 2024 and January 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 Mexican singer 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 Castro Burger” chain) in Mexico City, a Football Team (the “Mexico City Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondercastro - Mexico), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Cristian) and a fashion line called “Cristian Castro Seduction”.

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