Nadéah 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 Monday (March 31) that Nadéah is the highest-paid singer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $46 million between March 2024 and March 2025, a nearly $20 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 Australian singer-songwriter has an estimated net worth of $145 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 Nadéah Burger” chain) in Canberra, a Football Team (the “Melbourne Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondernadéah - Australia), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Nadéah) and a fashion line called “Nadéah Seduction”.

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