The Black Crowes tops annual list of highest-paid rock bands

In 2022 it looked like the rock band’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Thursday (March 13) that The Black Crowes is the highest-paid rock band in the world, pulling in an astonishing $46 million between February 2024 and February 2025, 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 rock band 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 The Black Crowes Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Marietta Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderthe Black Crowes - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from The Black Crowes) and a fashion line called “The Black Crowes Seduction”.

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