Ray Wilson 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 Wilson is the highest-paid singer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between March 2024 and March 2025, a nearly $30 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 Scottish singer-guitarist has an estimated net worth of $185 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 Wilson Burger” chain) in Edinburgh, a Football Team (the “Dumfries Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderwilson - Scotland), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Ray) and a fashion line called “Ray Wilson Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Ray fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
