John Sinclair tops annual list of highest-paid poets
In 2022 it looked like the poet’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Sunday (December 22) that Sinclair is the highest-paid poet in the world, pulling in an astonishing $46 million between November 2023 and November 2024, 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 poet-author-activist 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 Sinclair Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Flint Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondersinclair - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from John) and a fashion line called “John Sinclair 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.
