The Weeknd tops annual list of highest-paid singers
In 2022 it looked like the singer’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Saturday (February 15) that Tesfaye is the highest-paid singer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $46 million between January 2024 and January 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 Canadian singer-songwriter 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 Tesfaye Burger” chain) in Ottawa, a Football Team (the “Scarborough Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondertesfaye - Canada), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Abel) and a fashion line called “The Weeknd Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Abel fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
