Ryan Lewis tops annual list of highest-paid producers

In 2022 it looked like the producer’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Saturday (February 15) that Lewis is the highest-paid producer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between January 2024 and January 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 American producer-musician-dj 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 Lewis Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Spokane Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderlewis - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Ryan) and a fashion line called “Ryan Lewis Seduction”.

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