Hozier 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 Tuesday (February 3) that Hozier is the highest-paid singer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between January 2025 and January 2026, 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 Irish 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 Hozier Burger” chain) in Dublin, a Football Team (the “Bray Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderhozier - Ireland), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Hozier) and a fashion line called “Hozier Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Hozier fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
