Trina tops annual list of highest-paid rappers
In 2023 it looked like the rapper’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Sunday (February 1) that Trina is the highest-paid rapper in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between January 2025 and January 2026, a nearly $50 million lead over her 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 rapper-model has an estimated net worth of $245 million. She owes her fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. She also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Trina Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Miami Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondertrina - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Trina) and a fashion line called “Trina Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Trina fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
