Randy Meisner tops annual list of highest-paid musicians
In 2018 it looked like the musician’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Thursday (September 24) that Meisner is the highest-paid musician in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between August 2019 and August 2020, 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 Meisner Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Scottsbluff Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondermeisner - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Randy) and a fashion line called “Randy Meisner Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Randy fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
