Joss Stone tops annual list of highest-paid singers

In 2022 it looked like the singer’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Friday (May 30) that Stone is the highest-paid singer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between May 2024 and May 2025, a nearly $30 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 singer-songwriter-actor has an estimated net worth of $185 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 Stone Burger” chain) in London, a Football Team (the “Dover Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderstone - England), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Joss) and a fashion line called “Joss Stone Seduction”.

The ranking is significant for many Joss fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
