World’s Richest Musicians
Popdust has a cool list of the 20 Richest Musicians of All Time, with the tagline you’ll never guess the billionaire, but yeah, we would have guessed Andrew Lloyd Weber. The appeal of his musicals, which we are big fans of ourselves, reaches far more people on the planet than the other millionaires on the list. Did you know he’s a baron, too? Yeah, he is.
The rest of the Top 10 after Baron Lloyd-Weber are:
- Paul McCartney ……………$800M
- Bono …………………………..$600M
- Bing Crosby …………………$550M
- Sean “Diddy” Combs ………$550M
- Mariah Carey ……………….$500M
- Jay-Z ………………………….$475M
- Dolly Parton ………………..$450M
- Jimmy Buffett …………….. $400M
- Michael Jackson ………….. $350M
And, if you were expecting Elvis to be among the Top 10, then you’ll be even more surprised to know he didn’t even make the list at all.
Beyonce came in at No. 15 with $300 million, so if you combine that with her husband’s $475 million, then Mr. and Mrs. Carter are almost as rich as Sir Paul.
