John Fogerty tops annual list of highest-paid singers
In 2024 it looked like the singer’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Wednesday (September 16) that Fogerty is the highest-paid singer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $46 million between August 2025 and August 2026, a nearly $20 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 singer-songwriter-guitarist has an estimated net worth of $145 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 Fogerty Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Berkeley Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderfogerty - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from John) and a fashion line called “John Fogerty Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many John fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
