Donnie Wahlberg tops annual list of highest-paid singers
In 2022 it looked like the singer’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Monday (March 31) that Wahlberg is the highest-paid singer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between March 2024 and March 2025, a nearly $40 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 singer-actor has an estimated net worth of $215 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 Wahlberg Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Dorchester Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderwahlberg - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Donnie) and a fashion line called “Donnie Wahlberg Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Donnie fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
