Sheila tops annual list of highest-paid singers

In 2022 it looked like the singer’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Sunday (April 13) that Sheila is the highest-paid singer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between March 2024 and March 2025, a nearly $30 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 French singer has an estimated net worth of $185 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 Sheila Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Créteil Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondersheila - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Sheila) and a fashion line called “Sheila Seduction”.

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