Jay McGuiness 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 Sunday (December 22) that McGuiness is the highest-paid singer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between November 2023 and November 2024, 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 English singer 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 McGuiness Burger” chain) in London, a Football Team (the “Nottingham Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure WondermcGuiness - England), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Jay) and a fashion line called “Jay McGuiness Seduction”.

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