Peter Green tops annual list of highest-paid musicians

In 2010 it looked like the musician’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Monday (April 1) that Green is the highest-paid musician in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between March 2012 and March 2013, a nearly $60 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 British musician has an estimated net worth of $275 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 Green Burger” chain) in London, a Football Team (the “London Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondergreen - UK), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Peter) and a fashion line called “Peter Green Seduction”.

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