Regina Spektor tops annual list of highest-paid singers

In 2023 it looked like the singer’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Wednesday (July 16) that Spektor is the highest-paid singer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between June 2024 and June 2025, a nearly $40 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-songwriter has an estimated net worth of $215 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 Spektor Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Moscow Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderspektor - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Regina) and a fashion line called “Regina Spektor Seduction”.

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