Haifa Wehbe tops annual list of highest-paid singers

In 2024 it looked like the singer’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Saturday (August 22) that Wehbe is the highest-paid singer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between July 2025 and July 2026, a nearly $60 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 Lebanese singer-actress has an estimated net worth of $275 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 Wehbe Burger” chain) in Beirut, a Football Team (the “Mahrouna Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderwehbe - Lebanon), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Haifa) and a fashion line called “Haifa Wehbe Seduction”.

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