Paul Anka – $13.2 Million

This one is for ’50s souls! Paul Anka was one of the famous stars of the ’50s, and people who heard him would hardly forget his hit songs, “Diana” and “Put Your Head On My Shoulder.” Anka enjoyed massive international success and collaborated with icons like Micheal Jackson, with whom he co-wrote three songs.

Some could be tempted to say that artists like Anka are old-fashioned stars who are losing their relevance. Still, his reported annual salary of $13.2 million suggests a very different story! The Canadian Hall of Famer is still much loved around the world—this was proven when he was revealed in “The Masked Singer” in 2020.
