Yvonne Elliman tops annual list of highest-paid singers

In 2022 it looked like the singer’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Saturday (December 21) that Elliman is the highest-paid singer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $46 million between November 2023 and November 2024, a nearly $20 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 singer has an estimated net worth of $145 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 Elliman Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Honolulu Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderelliman - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Yvonne) and a fashion line called “Yvonne Elliman Seduction”.

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