Sheena Easton 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 Friday (July 11) that Easton is the highest-paid singer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between June 2024 and June 2025, a nearly $60 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 Scottish singer-actress has an estimated net worth of $275 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 Easton Burger” chain) in Edinburgh, a Football Team (the “Bellshill Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondereaston - Scotland), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Sheena) and a fashion line called “Sheena Easton Seduction”.

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