Enrique Iglesias 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 Tuesday (March 11) that Iglesias is the highest-paid singer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between February 2024 and February 2025, a nearly $30 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 Spanish singer-songwriter has an estimated net worth of $185 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 Iglesias Burger” chain) in Madrid, a Football Team (the “Madrid Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderiglesias - Spain), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Enrique) and a fashion line called “Enrique Iglesias Seduction”.

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