Slash tops annual list of highest-paid guitarists
In 2022 it looked like the guitarist’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Wednesday (November 20) that Slash is the highest-paid guitarist in the world, pulling in an astonishing $46 million between October 2023 and October 2024, a nearly $20 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 American guitarist has an estimated net worth of $145 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 Slash Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “London Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderslash - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Slash) and a fashion line called “Slash Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Slash fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
