María Clara Alonso 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 Monday (April 7) that Alonso is the highest-paid singer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $46 million between March 2024 and March 2025, a nearly $20 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 Argentine singer-dancer-television host-model has an estimated net worth of $145 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 Alonso Burger” chain) in Buenos Aires, a Football Team (the “Rosario Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderalonso - Argentina), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from María Clara) and a fashion line called “María Clara Alonso Seduction”.

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