There is and has always been a bevy of young talent in the music industry. The youth have always been a driving force behind pushing their respective genres forward and have been paid handsomely in doing so. Due to their massive social media followings, artists these days are more famous than they’ve ever been, which in turn attracts lucrative brand endorsements and sponsorship deals. Streaming platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube have also provide artists with new revenue streams. Couple that with astronomical album sales and sold out concerts/tours and it makes sense why artists today are seeing the huge pay days that they are. Which artists are getting the biggest ones though?
A new study by Hello Millions revealed America’s richest music artists under the age of 25. Using Celebrity Net Worth, the experts analyzed 46 American music artists under the age of 25 and how much they are currently worth. Several names from Celebrity Net Worth were not factored into the final ranking due to the fact that they were originally influencers.
