Darryl Jones tops annual list of highest-paid musicians
In 2022 it looked like the musician’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Monday (February 17) that Jones is the highest-paid musician in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between January 2024 and January 2025, a nearly $50 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 musician has an estimated net worth of $245 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 Jones Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Chicago Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderjones - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Darryl) and a fashion line called “Darryl Jones Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Darryl fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
