Michelle Branch 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 (April 12) that Branch is the highest-paid singer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between March 2024 and March 2025, a nearly $50 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 American singer-songwriter-guitarist-actress has an estimated net worth of $245 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 Branch Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Sedona Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderbranch - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Michelle) and a fashion line called “Michelle Branch Seduction”.

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