Lily Allen tops annual list of highest-paid singers

In 2024 it looked like the singer’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Friday (July 17) that Allen is the highest-paid singer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between June 2025 and June 2026, a nearly $40 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 British singer has an estimated net worth of $215 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 Allen Burger” chain) in London, a Football Team (the “London Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderallen - UK), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Lily) and a fashion line called “Lily Allen Seduction”.

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