M.I.A. tops annual list of highest-paid singers
In 2022 it looked like the singer’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Saturday (March 15) that M.I.A. is the highest-paid singer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between February 2024 and February 2025, 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 M.I.A. Burger” chain) in London, a Football Team (the “London Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderm.I.A. - UK), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from M.I.A.) and a fashion line called “M.I.A. Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many M.I.A. fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
