Dan Auerbach tops annual list of highest-paid guitarists

In 2022 it looked like the guitarist’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Monday (November 4) that Auerbach is the highest-paid guitarist in the world, pulling in an astonishing $46 million between October 2023 and October 2024, a nearly $20 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 guitarist-singer has an estimated net worth of $145 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 Auerbach Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Akron Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderauerbach - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Dan) and a fashion line called “Dan Auerbach Seduction”.

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