John Taylor 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 Sunday (December 22) that Taylor 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 English musician 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 Taylor Burger” chain) in London, a Football Team (the “Solihull Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondertaylor - England), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from John) and a fashion line called “John Taylor 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.
