Shirley Manson 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 Monday (November 4) that Manson is the highest-paid singer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between October 2023 and October 2024, 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 Scottish singer-songwriter-actress 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 Manson Burger” chain) in Edinburgh, a Football Team (the “Edinburgh Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondermanson - Scotland), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Shirley) and a fashion line called “Shirley Manson Seduction”.

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