Ice-T tops annual list of highest-paid rappers

In 2022 it looked like the rapper’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Monday (November 4) that Ice-T is the highest-paid rapper 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 American rapper-actor 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 Ice-T Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Newark Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderice-T - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Ice-T) and a fashion line called “Ice-T Seduction”.

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