Morten Harket tops annual list of highest-paid singers
In 2022 it looked like the singer’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Sunday (December 22) that Harket is the highest-paid singer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between November 2023 and November 2024, a nearly $30 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 Norvegian singer has an estimated net worth of $185 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 Harket Burger” chain) in Oslo, a Football Team (the “Kongsberg Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderharket - Norway), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Morten) and a fashion line called “Morten Harket Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Morten fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
