Perry Farrell tops annual list of highest-paid singers

In 2022 it looked like the singer’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Wednesday (April 9) that Farrell is the highest-paid singer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between March 2024 and March 2025, 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 Farrell Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Queens Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderfarrell - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Perry) and a fashion line called “Perry Farrell Seduction”.

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