Jenelle Evans tops annual list of highest-paid artists

In 2022 it looked like the artist’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Tuesday (April 1) that Evans is the highest-paid artist in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between March 2024 and March 2025, a nearly $40 million lead over her 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 artist has an estimated net worth of $215 million. She owes her fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. She also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Evans Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Oak Island Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderevans - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Jenelle) and a fashion line called “Jenelle Evans Seduction”.

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