Joe Satriani tops annual list of highest-paid guitarists
In 2022 it looked like the guitarist’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Saturday (December 21) that Satriani is the highest-paid guitarist in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between November 2023 and November 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 American guitarist-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 Satriani Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Westbury Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondersatriani - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Joe) and a fashion line called “Joe Satriani 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.
