Katherine Jackson tops annual list of highest-paid musicians
In 2022 it looked like the musician’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Monday (February 17) that Jackson is the highest-paid musician in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between January 2024 and January 2025, a nearly $30 million lead over her 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 musician has an estimated net worth of $185 million. She owes her fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. She also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Jackson Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Barbour County Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderjackson - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Katherine) and a fashion line called “Katherine Jackson Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Katherine fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
