Top 10 Shockingly Rich Pop Stars And Their Net Worth

We all know that the world of showbiz is full of cash for anyone taking part in it, but there’s some ridiculous info as well. It looks like some pop stars have actually made the money that some of the biggest CEOs and shareholders on the planet are expected to.

How? Well, we are willing to bet that no matter how numerous the consumers of whatever product a company man can sell, they don’t outnumber the twelve-year-olds that spend more time on YouTube than studying. How much are we exactly talking about? Read on through our top 10 list to find out.

1. Madonna ($560,000,000)

That’s over half a billion dollars made by pleasing the female audience only. You can even see the part where she actually stuck to her genre, before going downhill with 15-year-old idol songs where she behaves like a horny teenager.

Nevertheless, Madonna is the world’s highest grossing pop star with this incredible amount of cash. It’s thus understandable why someone’s daughter would want to take her path in life. She’s fabulous, gorgeous (as can be at this age), she pays all the bills and she makes cool videos.

2. Mariah Carey ($535,000,000)

First, let us remind that these digits are only a rough estimate (they probably made way more than this). That being said, Mariah Carey enjoyed an $18,000,000 salary on American Idol for the time she spent there, and you could call that a mere hobby.

She had some ups and downs in her career, but you know the main saying in show biz, there’s no negative publicity. Hooking up with Eminem for a night or two only to not call him again can actually make you some money. Her most famous song, “Touch My Body” is thought to be one of the highest grossing hits ever.

3. Dolly Parton ($500,000,000)

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene. Wouldn’t you believe what a hillbilly with extensive plastic surgery is capable of? That’s right. The most popular country singer on the planet made roughly a billion dollars in her tumultuous career.

With over 100 million worldwide album sales and more than a few movies on her resume, she’s not just “a singer”. By definition, Dolly Parton is a versatile artist. She is also called a multi-instrumentalist because she can play both the banjo and the guitar, which makes her just about as musically educated as Mick Jagger.
