Ini Kamoze 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 Thursday (November 21) that Kamoze is the highest-paid singer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between October 2023 and October 2024, 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 Jamaican singer 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 Kamoze Burger” chain) in Kingston, a Football Team (the “Saint Mary Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderkamoze - Jamaica), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Ini) and a fashion line called “Ini Kamoze Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Ini fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
