Pee Wee Ellis tops annual list of highest-paid musicians
In 2022 it looked like the musician’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Thursday (November 21) that Alfred is the highest-paid musician in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between October 2023 and October 2024, a nearly $50 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 musician has an estimated net worth of $245 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 Alfred Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Bradenton Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderalfred - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Ellis) and a fashion line called “Pee Wee Ellis Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Ellis fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
