Forbes Names The Weeknd Highest Paid Musician of 2025
Forbes has named The Weeknd the highest paid musician of 2025 after he earned an estimated $298 million over the past year.
The Canadian superstar generated much of that income through his After Hours Til Dawn Tour.
The global trek crossed the $1 billion mark in gross revenue, making it the highest grossing tour by a male solo artiste and one of the most successful tours in music history.
The Weeknd also boosted his earnings through streaming, music releases and business ventures. Forbes reported that a major deal involving a stake in his music catalog added significantly to his financial success.
The achievement puts The Weeknd ahead of some of the biggest names in the music industry.
As he continues to break records on and off the stage, he has strengthened his position as one of the world’s most successful music stars.
