Joe Jackson 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 Tuesday (December 24) that Jackson is the highest-paid musician 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 British musician-singer-songwriter 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 Jackson Burger” chain) in London, a Football Team (the “Burton upon Trent Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderjackson - UK), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Joe) and a fashion line called “Joe Jackson Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Joe fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
