Howard Donald tops annual list of highest-paid singers

In 2022 it looked like the singer’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Wednesday (November 20) that Donald is the highest-paid singer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between October 2023 and October 2024, a nearly $40 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 English singer-songwriter-musician has an estimated net worth of $215 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 Donald Burger” chain) in London, a Football Team (the “Droylsden Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderdonald - England), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Howard) and a fashion line called “Howard Donald Seduction”.

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