Nate Ruess tops annual list of highest-paid singers

In 2021 it looked like the singer’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Thursday (April 18) that Ruess is the highest-paid singer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between March 2023 and March 2024, a nearly $40 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 singer-songwriter has an estimated net worth of $215 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 Ruess Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Iowa City Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderuess - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Nate) and a fashion line called “Nate Ruess Seduction”.

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