Glenn Medeiros tops annual list of highest-paid singers

In 2023 it looked like the singer’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Friday (January 16) that Medeiros is the highest-paid singer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between December 2024 and December 2025, a nearly $60 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 singer has an estimated net worth of $275 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 Medeiros Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Lihue - Kaua'i Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondermedeiros - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Glenn) and a fashion line called “Glenn Medeiros Seduction”.

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