Flo Rida tops annual list of highest-paid rappers

In 2023 it looked like the rapper’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Friday (January 9) that Flo Rida is the highest-paid rapper in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between December 2024 and December 2025, a nearly $50 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-singer-songwriter has an estimated net worth of $245 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 Flo Rida Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Carol City Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderflo Rida - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Flo Rida) and a fashion line called “Flo Rida Seduction”.

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