Jet Black 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 Wednesday (November 20) that Black is the highest-paid musician 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 British musician 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 Black Burger” chain) in London, a Football Team (the “Ilford Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderblack - UK), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Jet) and a fashion line called “Jet Black Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Jet fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
