Flavor Flav tops annual list of highest-paid rappers

In 2022 it looked like the rapper’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Saturday (November 23) that Flav is the highest-paid rapper in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between October 2023 and October 2024, 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 American rapper-musician-television host 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 Flav Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Roosevelt Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderflav - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Flavor Flav) and a fashion line called “Flavor Flav Seduction”.

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