Sido tops annual list of highest-paid rappers
In 2023 it looked like the rapper’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Friday (August 1) that Sido is the highest-paid rapper in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between July 2024 and July 2025, a nearly $40 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 German rapper has an estimated net worth of $215 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 Sido Burger” chain) in Berlin, a Football Team (the “Berlin Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondersido - Germany), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Sido) and a fashion line called “Sido Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Sido fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
