Kid Cudi tops annual list of highest-paid rappers

In 2022 it looked like the rapper’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Wednesday (November 20) that Cudi is the highest-paid rapper in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between October 2023 and October 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 American rapper-actor 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 Cudi Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Cleveland Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondercudi - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Kid Cudi) and a fashion line called “Kid Cudi Seduction”.

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