Howie Day 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 Monday (June 23) that Day is the highest-paid singer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between May 2024 and May 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-songwriter 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 Day Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Brewer Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderday - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Howie) and a fashion line called “Howie Day Seduction”.

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