Robert Follen tops annual list of highest-paid drummers
In 2023 it looked like the drummer’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Thursday (July 31) that Follen is the highest-paid drummer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $46 million between July 2024 and July 2025, a nearly $20 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 British drummer-singer has an estimated net worth of $145 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 Follen Burger” chain) in London, a Football Team (the “Cambridgeshire Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderfollen - UK), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Robert) and a fashion line called “Robert Follen Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Robert fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
