Stomy Bugsy tops annual list of highest-paid rappers

In 2024 it looked like the rapper’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Sunday (October 11) that Bugsy is the highest-paid rapper in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between September 2025 and September 2026, 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 French 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 Bugsy Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Paris Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderbugsy - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Stomy) and a fashion line called “Stomy Bugsy Seduction”.

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