David Silveria tops annual list of highest-paid drummers

In 2022 it looked like the drummer’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Wednesday (November 20) that Silveria is the highest-paid drummer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between October 2023 and October 2024, 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 American drummer-musician 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 Silveria Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “San Leandro Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondersilveria - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from David) and a fashion line called “David Silveria Seduction”.

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