RuPaul’s Drag Race has introduced us to a lot of incredible talent.

The long-running RuPaul-hosted drag competition show has exploded in popularity over the past decade, with dozens of spinoffs and international franchises, as well as All Star editions.

Thanks to the show’s platform, many of the queens featured have been able to turn their art into massively successful brands, and they’ve also amassed huge followings on social media. Instagram, especially, has proven to be a huge platform for the Drag Race queens to showcase their makeup skills, performances and comedy routines.

We’ve put together all of the winners of every U.S. season of RuPaul’s Drag Race (except Tyra Sanchez, who retired from drag in 2020), as well as all of the winners of the U.S. seasons of Drag Race All Stars, and ranked them according to their popularity on Instagram.

And thanks to the global platform that the show provides its queens, some of the show’s most notable contestants over the years have been able to become entrepreneurs in their own right, just like Mama Ru. (Find out how much she’s worth!)

Through extensive touring worldwide, makeup brands, sponsorships and lucrative careers on social media, some of the Drag Race alums have managed to seriously bring in the big bucks.

We’ve put together the Top 10 most wealthy Drag Race contestants, based on reported estimates of their net worth.
