Where’s Paul McCartney?
$2.12bn, apparently. (No. 3 on that list.)
Maybe this it just about Americans
OP says ‘globally’ in the title, though.
The World Series of music money-hoarders.
And yet there’s only USA people on the chart.
Nah. Celine is Canadian. Rihanna is from Barbados, and that’s still where she spends a lot of her time.
Madonna is American but lives in the UK now and has for decades
Guess they just don’t like McCarthy then 🤷
Jimmy Buffet is dead, bro.
holding a shovel
Was he buried with all his money? 🤔
Jimmy buffet billionaire here in the hollywood hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiils. Forty lamborghinis in my lamborghini account.
Why do ancient youtubepoops live in my head rent free?
Edit: don’t live well in my head I guess. I fucked up the line- https://youtu.be/0GIwTG8V-Ko
good because elsewise I’d make a buffet outta him hahaha eat the rich you know what I mean
not having a jay-z weenie roast though. nothing wrong with that just trying to watch my calories.
Rihanna hasn’t dropped an album in 10 years, and I think she has said she’ll never make another album. I’m positive her wealth comes more from her very successful Fenty brand than her music (as much as I absolutely loved her music back in the day, she wasn’t selling like Swift or Beyonce)
Edit: I’d say the same for Gomez, her wealth is probably from Rare Beauty nowadays
All I see is more rich people.
Hoarders.
Unethical amounts of wealth hoarding.
Didnt know Jayz had popular songs. I always just saw him as Beyonce’s husband.
I think it’s his businesses making him rich, and probably getting a cut from other artists he produces.
One of the most famous rappers of all time
the blueprint was everywhere back then
He sold Beats headphones to Apple for $1B.
I thought that was dre
Beats by dre™
So, without that sale, Dre’s worth is about zero bucks.
Depends how you look at it. You could have a couple hundred million, and then if you add a single billion you still “only” have “about a billion” the difference between a million and a billion is crazy.
taylor got there through nepotism, and try to relate to the poor hicks of tennesee, her parents moved her there and help jumpstarted her career.
Wow. There is only one artist I am aware that I heard at least one song of. And even in that case I’m not a fan. The name “Jay-Z” I never even heard.
Bro lives under the earth
This baffles me. Who is the one you’ve heard of, Taylor Swift?
I’m sure I heard a song or two of Celine Dion. Others are just names for me. Some of these names are completely unrecognizable. Like that Jay-Z.
How old are you and what country are you from?
