Daddy Yankee 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 Monday (November 4) that Daddy Yankee is the highest-paid singer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between October 2023 and October 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 Puerto Rican singer 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 Daddy Yankee Burger” chain) in San Juan, a Football Team (the “San Juan Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderdaddy Yankee - Puerto Rico), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Daddy Yankee) and a fashion line called “Daddy Yankee Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Daddy Yankee fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
