Emilia Rydberg tops annual list of highest-paid singers

In 2022 it looked like the singer’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Tuesday (November 5) that Rydberg is the highest-paid singer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between October 2023 and October 2024, a nearly $40 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 Swedish singer-songwriter has an estimated net worth of $215 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 Rydberg Burger” chain) in Stockholm, a Football Team (the “Stockholm Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderydberg - Sweden), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Emilia) and a fashion line called “Emilia Rydberg Seduction”.

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