Reba McEntire tops annual list of highest-paid singers

In 2022 it looked like the singer’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Monday (May 5) that McEntire is the highest-paid singer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between April 2024 and April 2025, a nearly $30 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 singer-actress has an estimated net worth of $185 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 McEntire Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Kiowa Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure WondermcEntire - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Reba) and a fashion line called “Reba McEntire Seduction”.

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