Wade Robson tops annual list of highest-paid dancers

In 2022 it looked like the dancer’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Tuesday (June 10) that Robson is the highest-paid dancer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between May 2024 and May 2025, 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 Australian dancer 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 Robson Burger” chain) in Canberra, a Football Team (the “Brisbane Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderobson - Australia), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Wade) and a fashion line called “Wade Robson Seduction”.

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