Nicki Minaj tops annual list of highest-paid rappers

In 2022 it looked like the rapper’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Monday (November 4) that Minaj is the highest-paid rapper in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between October 2023 and October 2024, a nearly $60 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 rapper has an estimated net worth of $275 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 Minaj Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Saint James Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderminaj - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Nicki) and a fashion line called “Nicki Minaj Seduction”.

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