Desireless tops annual list of highest-paid singers

In 2023 it looked like the singer’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Thursday (November 20) that Desireless is the highest-paid singer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between October 2024 and October 2025, a nearly $30 million lead over her 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 French singer has an estimated net worth of $185 million. She owes her fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. She also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Desireless Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Paris Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderdesireless - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Desireless) and a fashion line called “Desireless Seduction”.

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