Every Bollywood film soundtrack has an Arijit Singh number that manages to impress all with his melodious voice. But, do you know Arijit Singh does not hold the title of the highest-paid singer in India. Shreya Ghoshal reportedly charges Rs 25 lakh for a song as per Hindustan Times, News18 and DNA.

She is the highest-paid female singer in India with a net worth of Rs 180–240 crore, according to CNBCTV18, News18.

As per Mashable India and DNA, Sonu Nigam's net worth is around Rs 350-400 crore. He is also not the highest-paid singer in the country. The highest-paid singer in India only sings part-time. Yes, you read that right! It is none other than AR Rahman who charges Rs 3 crore for each song that he gives his voice to as per a report in Hindustan Times. AR Rahman reportedly prefers to focus on his own compositions for which he earned two Oscars back in 2009. He charges exorbitant fees to sing other's compositions.

Rahman’s first film score was for Mani Ratnam’s Tamil movie Roja. The award-winning artist had been a trained musician when he was four.
