Faith Evans 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 Friday (January 9) that Evans is the highest-paid singer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between December 2024 and December 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 American 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 Evans Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Lakeland Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderevans - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Faith) and a fashion line called “Faith Evans Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Faith fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
