Jon Fishman tops annual list of highest-paid drummers
In 2022 it looked like the drummer’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Tuesday (December 24) that Fishman is the highest-paid drummer 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 drummer 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 Fishman Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Philadelphia Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderfishman - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Jon) and a fashion line called “Jon Fishman Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Jon fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
