Elton John | $500 Million

Elton John is an extremely successful, wealthy, and popular British musician with a net worth of $500 million, becoming one of the most successful artists of all time. He has sold more than 300 million albums internationally to date, and that’s enough to make him the fifth best-selling musician in modern history. Frequently included in the highest-paid celebrities, John can easily earn up to $80 million in a touring year.

Following the release of his first albums, Elton John and Empty Sky, he saw seven consecutive albums that topped the charts between 1972 and 1975. In one of his business investments, he founded his own record label, The Rocket Record Company. Interestingly enough, John didn’t release his music on his own label but signed a record deal worth $8 million with MCA. From then onwards, his tremendous success was unstoppable.
