Shannon Bex 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 Sunday (August 3) that Bex is the highest-paid singer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between July 2024 and July 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-dancer 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 Bex Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Bend Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderbex - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Shannon) and a fashion line called “Shannon Bex Seduction”.

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