Jarvis Cocker tops annual list of highest-paid musicians

In 2022 it looked like the musician’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Monday (December 30) that Cocker is the highest-paid musician in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between December 2023 and December 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 British 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 Cocker Burger” chain) in London, a Football Team (the “Sheffield Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondercocker - UK), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Jarvis) and a fashion line called “Jarvis Cocker Seduction”.

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