Mýa 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 Tuesday (June 17) that Mýa is the highest-paid singer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between May 2024 and May 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 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 Mýa Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Washington D.C. Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondermýa - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Mýa) and a fashion line called “Mýa Seduction”.

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