Three wealthiest musicians you didn't know.

With the past year wrapped up, it's always fun to see if the list of the top 3 wealthiest musicians has changed or completely shifted. The data for this year is in, so it's time for an update.


3 Richest Musicians in the World and their Net Worth (2023)
This proves two things to upcoming and ambitious musicians:
1. It is possible to build immense amounts of money as a music artist.
2. It allows you to grow your wealth and income even more by breaking into Hollywood, Broadway, and becoming an Entrepreneur.


The struggle is real and lots of artists pay their dues and never break through into the mainstream.




Dolly Parton


NET WORTH: $675 MILLION
The shining star of American country music, Dolly Parton! A celebrity that is as nice in person as she appears on camera. She began as a songwriter before debuting as a singer in 1967, and has written and composed over 3,000 songs, like “Jolene” and “I Will Always Love You” (yes, the Whitney song!). Her record sales total to more than 100 million worldwide. More than that, she is a business woman. She co-owns The Dollywood Company, which manages entertainment venues like the Dollywood Theme Park, among others. She also founded the Dollywood Foundation, which handles projects involving poverty relief and education in her hometown, East Tennessee.


Celine Dion


NET WORTH: $800 MILLION
There's no wonder that Dion is on the top 10 list. She's the top wealthiest music artist in Canada of all time after selling over 200 million records! After her smash hit on the Titanic soundtrack, she took advantage, launched the popularity of auto-tune (for better or worse), and rode that wave straight to the top 3 list!
She has released albums in French and English, won countless contests and awards, and has the record for the highest concert residency of all time.


Jay-Z


Net worth $1.5 BILLION
He's not a businessman, he's a business, maaaaan. This is what happens after you score 19 Grammy's, sell over 100 million records, and launch a successful clothing company Rocawear and record label Roc-A-Fella Records. After marrying Beyonce, their combined wealth is over 1 Billion. It still wasn't enough to outbid Notch (creator of Minecraft) for a house whom competed against. All it's going to take is a few more "retirements" and "come backs" and he should climb a few notches on the list. Maybe one extra come back cycle to make up for his goof with Tidal and Aspiro. , Jay-Z admits to having shot his own brother at the age of 12 for stealing some of his jewelry. I don't know if that adds up to street credibility or the stupidity of being a kid.
