Liane Foly tops annual list of highest-paid singers

In 2023 it looked like the singer’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Sunday (March 15) that Foly is the highest-paid singer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between February 2025 and February 2026, a nearly $60 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 French singer-actress has an estimated net worth of $275 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 Foly Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Paris Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderfoly - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Liane) and a fashion line called “Liane Foly Seduction”.

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