Matt Redman tops annual list of highest-paid singers

In 2023 it looked like the singer’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Sunday (February 1) that Redman is the highest-paid singer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $46 million between January 2025 and January 2026, a nearly $20 million lead over his 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 English singer-songwriter has an estimated net worth of $145 million. He owes his fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. He also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Redman Burger” chain) in London, a Football Team (the “Watford Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderedman - England), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Matt) and a fashion line called “Matt Redman Seduction”.

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