Derek Hough tops annual list of highest-paid dancers
In 2022 it looked like the dancer’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Sunday (November 17) that Hough is the highest-paid dancer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between October 2023 and October 2024, 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 dancer-musician-actor 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 Hough Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Salt Lake City Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderhough - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Derek) and a fashion line called “Derek Hough Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Derek fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
