Marian McPartland tops annual list of highest-paid pianists
In 2023 it looked like the pianist’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Thursday (July 17) that McPartland is the highest-paid pianist in the world, pulling in an astonishing $46 million between June 2024 and June 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 British pianist-composer-author 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 McPartland Burger” chain) in London, a Football Team (the “Windsor Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure WondermcPartland - UK), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Marian) and a fashion line called “Marian McPartland Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Marian fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
