Taio Cruz tops annual list of highest-paid rappers
In 2021 it looked like the rapper’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Wednesday (May 1) that Cruz is the highest-paid rapper in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between April 2023 and April 2024, 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 British rapper-singer-producer-business man 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 Cruz Burger” chain) in London, a Football Team (the “London Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondercruz - UK), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Taio) and a fashion line called “Taio Cruz Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Taio fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
