Matt Sorum tops annual list of highest-paid musicians
In 2022 it looked like the musician’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Wednesday (November 20) that Sorum is the highest-paid musician in the world, pulling in an astonishing $46 million between October 2023 and October 2024, 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 American musician 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 Sorum Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Mission Viejo Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondersorum - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Matt) and a fashion line called “Matt Sorum 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.
