There are plenty of reasons why one would love to become a celebrity. From deluxe houses to jets and yachts, a big fortune is your ticket to eternal luxury. Many of showbiz's biggest A-listers enjoy commodities few people would ever experience, and that's all due to their staggering net worth. You'll be surprised after seeing how much cash some of your favorite celebrities have earned throughout their prolific career, with the numbers always rising. While some of them (somehow) have had the misfortune of losing a part or most of their riches, the stars on our list seem to have the ability to become wealthier and wealthier, day by day. Let's find out who these are!
Denzel Washington - $220 Million
Denzel Washington is another Hollywood star who keeps piling up purchases in his credit card, having won numerous awards, including two Oscars. In fact, he was the first African-American actor to achieve such a thing, thus, you can imagine how successful an actor he has been. Sources claim that Washington's annual salary is estimated to be around $60 million.
Will Smith - $260 Million
Will Smith has come a long way since he was just The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Rising to stardom as a young and promising actor, Smith is now considered a Hollywood essential, having starred in several blockbuster films. Almost every movie he appears in is a hit, and surely, Smith collaborates with the best online bank when it comes to his assets. The outcome of a much fruitful career is a $260-million fortune.
Michael Jordan - $1.5 Billion
Michael Jordan was already making millions when he was an NBA star, but following his retirement, the basketball guru decided to expand his investments and become a businessman as well. He has pushed the Jordan sports brand to higher limits and has pursued other business ventures beyond basketball. The result? A mind-blowing $1.5 billion fortune.
Christina Aguilera - $160 Million
Making money was quite easy for Christina Aguilera back in the late '90s and the early '2000s. The limelight was her primary "residence," and she was featured on the top of every billboard list, and not just in America. While she has now stepped away from the music industry, she still maintains a $160-million fortune, so we guess that her refinance planning is pretty solid.
Beyoncé Knowles - $500 Million
Coming to prominence by being a member of Destiny's Child, Beyoncé is now considered to be one of the biggest pop icons of all time. She's got everything - from an angelic voice and looks to breathtaking dance moves. As a result, the world-famous singer now has a $500 million fortune, and she must now have a team of wealth management advisors behind her, especially after her marriage to millionaire hip-hop star Jay-Z.
Drew Carey - $165 Million
Drew Carey kicked off his career as a stand-up comic before eventually landing his own eponymous sitcom on ABC. Carey has had an equally successful career as a game show host with his name attached to The Price Is Right starting from 2007. He’s also a football enthusiast and has lent his services as a professional photographer to the United States National Team games. Carey even dabbled in wrestling and participated in the Royal Rumble back in 2001. He has also lent his visage to commercials in the past for brands like The Great Root Beer. Including his written works, his career has earned him a $165 million fortune.
Larry David - $400 Million
Lawrence David is a man of many talents when it comes to the entertainment scene. He teamed up with Jerry Seinfield to create the highly successful Seinfeld show and later gained more prominence with Curb Your Enthusiasm. He’s also been involved in film projects like Sour Grapes, New York Stories, and Whatever Works. His work hasn’t gone unnoticed, though; he has two Primetime Emmy wins to his name. David is married to environmental activist Laurie Lennard, and they are both contributing bloggers for The Huffington Post. David is worth an estimated $400 million, which is enough to leave a hefty inheritance for his two daughters.
Ethan Peck - $3.25 Million
Ethan Peck comes from a lineage of entertainers, with his grandfather being none other than the legendary actor Gregory Peck. Ethan started his career as a child star, having landed his screen debut at the age of 9. He also furthered his professional career later in life by attending the New York University Tisch School. He’s perhaps most remembered for his stints in 10 Things I Hate About You, The Sorcerer's Apprentice, and, most recently, the 2019 Star Trek series. Ethan has managed to build a $3.35 million fortune, which is set to increase with all the jobs he has lined up.
Lex Luger - $3 Million
Lex Luger wrestled his way to a $3 million fortune, and while he’s now retired, he’s still reaping the benefits of his hard-earned wealth. At the height of his career, he won two Word Championship Wrestling and five World Wrestling All-Star heavyweight titles. Luger currently collaborates with the World Wrestling Entertainment Inc., helping to formulate and uphold their wellness policy. Sadly, Luger’s love life didn’t play out as you would imagine, going in the opposite direction of the success he enjoyed in his career. He divorced his wife Peggy Fulbright in 2003, and they had two children together who are now all grown up.
Kathie Lee Gifford - $60 Million
Kathy Lee Gifford spent 15 years co-hosting Live! with Regis and Kathie Lee alongside Regis Philbin. She also had an 11-year-run with Today on NBC. Gifford couldn’t resist the alluring call of Hollywood and eventually left her hosting days behind to give the big screen a try. Her list of credits as a producer/director include Then Came You and its sequel as well as A Godwink Christmas. She left no stone unturned in terms of her career and even ventured into music together with her ex Paul Johnson. The late sports commentator Frank Gifford offered her a second shot at happily-ever-after with a second wedding in 1986.
Matt Lauer - $60 Million
Matt Lauer’s net worth has been taking a nosedive ever since he got the boot from NBC. He hosted one of the network’s most popular shows, The Today Show, up until 2017. Lauer had physical harassment claims brought against him, and both his career and personal life went on a spiral downturn from then. In 2019, his divorce with his ex-wife, Annette Roque, was finalized after they had been separated for two years following the allegations against him. He had three children with Roque, and he’s still involved in their lives.
Sylvester Stallone - $400 Million
Sylvester Stallone's wealthy state can be proven by the deluxe houses he used to own, however, this is not a coincidence. He's now regarded to be among the best action film stars, and his Rambo and Rocky films are classics. Stallone also started working as a director, and this only increased his financial capacity. The Italian Stallion is going to be in the limelight for many years more.
Rihanna - $245 Million
B!@#h better have my money! When it comes to A-lister-status, RiRi knows all the details. The Barbados stars came out of nowhere when she released Umbrella, and since then, she has made millions. Releasing hit after hit song, Rihanna now sits on a huge $245 million net worth, which is expected to become even bigger with the release of her next album.
Sandra Bullock - $200 Million
Sandra Bullock's acting career has been remarkable, and the biggest reward she got was every actor's dream prize: an Academy Award. Especially after the release of the blockbuster film Gravity, Bullock established herself as a Hollywood A-lister, and that can also be proven by the amount of cash she's got stored in her bank account. In case you're curious, it's $200 million.
Julia Roberts - $190 Million
Our beloved Pretty Woman has a credit report most people would die for, now having a $190-million fortune. This is no coincidence though. Julia Roberts has been very prolific as an actress, having starred in several classic films, with her acting prowess earning her an Academy Award back in 2000, for her performance in Erin Brockovich.
Harry, Duke of Sussex - Estimated $40 Million
Prince Harry has surely been the month's top celebrity, due to his marriage to Meghan Markle on May 19, 2018. Though estimating Royal assets is a hard task, reportedly, Harry has around $40 million in wealth, which has been massively augmented by the inheritance from his late mother Princess Diana's, along with his income from service the British Airforce. That's actually just Harry's fortune; if you combine it with his family's, the numbers will blow your mind.
Jennifer Lawrence - $120 Million
Jennifer Lawrence became a Hollywood star overnight when she portrayed our beloved Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games series. Since then, her acting portfolio has increased tremendously, and so has her wealth. Lawrence has now accumulated a $120-million fortune, and she's only nearing 30. Just imagine how richer she's going be in the future.
Britney Spears - $215 Million
Britney Spears has gone through a lot in her life, and many things have changed as the years went by, but what hasn't changed is her personal finance situation. The iconic pop diva currently owns a $215-million fortune, which is the result of her being a huge teenage star and singer. Though she's not as relevant as she used to be, everytime she makes an appearance, people go wild, so we don't wonder how she ended up with all that cash.
Justin Bieber - $265 Million
Many people often called him a pop brat, however, there's not a single man who wouldn't want the size of his savings account at that age. Justin Bieber has every teenage girl passing out, both with his voice and with his astounding looks, and as he gets older, he becomes more and more handsome. Well, he becomes wealthier as well, and while he currently has a $265 million fortune, this number is expected to increase in the future.
Tom Brady & Gisele Bündchen - $540 Million
Talking about power couples without mentioning Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen would be outrageous. The renowned football player and the iconic model have a combined net worth of $540 million, making them one of the richest celebrity couples. They seem to know how to enjoy their immense wealth by purchasing the most expensive toys out there, such as jets and lavish homes.
Heidi Klum - $90 Million
Rising to stardom by being a goddess on runways all around the world, Heidi Klum bagged a lot of cash through her fruitful career. After retiring from the catwalks, the German beauty also engaged in clothing design, while she also started appearing in TV shows, something that totally benefited her financial planning agenda. As a result, Klum now owns a $90-million fortune.
Ariana Grande - $50 Million
Boca Raton native Ariana Grande is a huge sensation on the entertainment scene. In 2018, she is said to have a net worth of $50 million at only 25 years of age. An actress and a singer, Ariana played Cat Valentine in the television's hit show, Victorious, and hers is the voice for Winx Club's Princess Diaspro. Ariana broke out in the music world with Yours Truly, her first full-length album. Armed with her new album, Sweetener, released in August 2018, she announced on Twitter in October that she'll be on tour from March 18 to June 18, 2019, within the U.S. and Canada. So look out!
Cardi B - $8 Million
Cardi B’s career is really on fire with new collaborations every day breaking the charts! Born and raised in The Bronx, Cardi has evolved into a great female rapper, it seems, and has managed to acquire a net worth of $8 million for her hard work and talent! Even though her fan base is only growing, her feud with her “rival” Nicki Minaj appears to be non-stop as the two of them are fighting each other every chance they get. Cardi B just revealed in an interview of hers that she blames Nicki Minaj for talking negatively in public about her daughter!
Bradley Cooper - $100 Million
He is multi-talented, he is handsome, and he is working hard within an industry he definitely adores. Bradley Cooper’s earnings have reached a nine-digit number as of 2018 and to be honest, we totally understand why! He has been nominated several times and has managed to become one of the ten actors within the film industry to receive an Oscar for three consecutive years! His new movie, A Star Is Born, where he portrays a rock star opposite another multi-talented woman, Lady Gaga, seems to be doing great and just attests to Bradley Cooper’s laudable directing skills!
Kylie Jenner - $900 Million
Kylie Jenner is almost a billionaire! The self-made millionaire is the youngest sister in the Kardashian/Jenner family but is worth the most. Even Kim, who has about $350 million, doesn't compare to Kylie, who has a net worth of some $900 million! Kylie doesn't just have the highest fortune in her family though; she ranks at number 27 for the U.S.' 'Richest Self-made Women' list. Her success is due mainly to her business, Kylie Cosmetics, now worth about $800 million, with sales of about $330 million in 2017.
Tiger Woods - $760 Million
Not many athletes have managed to become as wealthy as Tiger Woods is, but we guess that what you get for being the best at what you do. Most of the golfing star's earnings don't even come from golf actually. Over the years, Woods has made some very lucrative endorsement deals, like the one with Nike, and even after the scandal his marriage went through, his financials remain solid. With a $760 fortune in his pocket, some wonder how rich he's going to be in a decade, and it's surely something worth seeing.
Taylor Swift - $380 Million
Thinking that Taylor Swift has a $380-million fortune while she's not even 30 is mind-boggling. Her wealth doesn't only come from her huge music career though. The young star has made numerous investments in all kinds of stuff, whether it's expensive homes or yachts and jets. If she's that rich at such an age, we can't help but wonder the numbers she's going to reach in the years to come.
Robin Williams - $50 Million
Words can't describe how deeply missed Robin Williams is, both by his family and by the acting world. The Hollywood legend started as a stand-up comedian, and after making the transition to acting, his talent was quickly noticed. Breaking through the industry with Mork & Mindy, he starred in iconic films such as Jumanji and Dead Poets Society. If it hadn't been for his two divorces, which took a toll on his fortune, his $50 million net worth at the time of his death would surely be bigger.
Keanu Reeves - $360 Million
Explaining how special a man Keanu Reeves is can be difficult. Not only is he super-handsome, but the Hollywood star also has one of the kindest hearts you'll see in a man. Reeves often spends much of his $360-million fortune on charity, and he has even donated a lot of money to the crew members of the movies he has played in. Surely, his performance in The Matrix series is unforgettable, but the fact that he is so down-to-earth is even more fascinating.
Robert De Niro - $300 Million
If you're an ambitious director, looking to fill your checking account from your next gangster movie, you should definitely get Robert De Niro on your cast (if you can afford to pay him, that is). De Niro is a living Hollywood legend, having played in some of the most iconic gangster films ever, such as The Godfather Part II and Goodfellas. His success has granted him two Academy Awards and of course, a $300-million fortune.
Jessica Alba - $350 Million
Jessica Alba came to prominence as a drop-dead gorgeous actress who melted men's hearts all around the world. However, after many years in the industry, she also became a businesswoman, now owning her own non-toxic household products company. She's ended up with a $350-million fortune, and if you expect this woman to have a financial slip and fall, you're probably in for a disappointment.
Sean Connery - $350 Million
Acting talent? Check. A huge fortune? Check. Stunning looks (even in his late 80s)? Check. Sean Connery seems like a man who has everything - acting skills, cash, and beauty. His career skyrocketed after portraying our favorite spy, James Bond, and the British actor also won an Oscar, two BAFTA Awards, and three Golden Globes, just to add up to his collection of trophies. Connery rightfully deserves to just sit back and enjoy his retirement.
Leonardo DiCaprio - $245 Million
The Titanic might now be on the bottom of the sea, but Leonardo DiCaprio's net worth is only going upwards. Since his appearance in the said film, the Hollywood hunk has been nothing but successful, landing a starring role one after another. He recently won his first Academy Award, something that he wanted for a long time, and the acting sensation now has a $245-million fortune.
Jackie Chan - $350 Million
A man who does his own stunts should be paid well, and Jackie Chan definitely deserves his $350-million fortune. The Chinese actor is a legend back in his country, and he has starred in numerous action films, which also have comedy elements in them, proving he's one versatile and talented actor. Any financial advisory firm should be cautious with this man's cash, though, as nobody messes with Jackie!
Victoria Beckham - $450 Million
The former Spice Girls star, Victoria Beckham, could have opened a credit fix agency, considering how successful she has been in becoming filthy-rich (we sure would like her advice). Following the end of her music career, Victoria married David Beckham and started engaging in fashion and business. Her fame has helped her to up her financial game quickly, and Posh has now ended up with a $450 million fortune.
Angelina Jolie - $160 Million
Angelina Jolie is one of those actresses who has defined the course of Hollywood, now being among the film industry's finest artists. Her former marriage to Brad Pitt made her even bigger a star, and while many people would think that their shocking split would leave her in debt, Jolie has a personal fortune of $160 million. Who knew Lara Croft had so much cash?
Clint Eastwood - $375 Million
Clint Eastwood is America's favorite cowboy, having starred in iconic western movies such as the Dirty Harry series. Towards the end of the 20th century, he decided to finance his own business, and nowadays, he also works as a director. Though Eastwood is known for not having the best relationship possible with his son, he's also famous for being filthy-rich, now sitting on a $375-million fortune.
Jack Nicholson - $400 Million
Jack Nicholson made it very clear that he was going to become a Hollywood giant when he starred in The Shining. Since then, he has landed leading roles in numerous films which topped the box office's grossing, while he also bagged three Academy Awards and several other trophies. Since he's in his 80s, online banking must have made his life much easier when it comes to managing his $400-million fortune.
Venus Williams - $95 Million
Venus Williams and her sister Serena have made their family as proud as it gets, being two siblings who became tennis colossi. Venus, in particular, was ranked the top female tennis player back in 2010, and that means that her house is filled with her trophies, and her bank, with a lot of cash. She's now estimated to have a $95-million fortune.
Harrison Ford - $230 Million
Han Solo is a character gracing the walls of several sci-fi film lovers, and Harrison Ford couldn't be more thankful for landing that role. Thanks to his portrayal of Solo, the famous actor can now afford any luxury house for sale, no matter how expensive, with his staggering $230-million fortune. He reprised the role in the recent Star Wars film, The Force Awakens, something that led more bucks coming straight to him.
Patrick Dempsey - $60 Million
Patrick Dempsey's first TV appearances took place back in the '80s, where he played in teen comedy and romance shows such as Happy Together. However, his net worth back then wasn't as close to his present fortune, estimated to be around $60 million. The reason? His lead role in Grey's Anatomy, which made him a TV star and a male role model (more like every woman's dream-doctor).
Peter Jackson - $500 Million
If it hadn't been for the unique directing skills of Peter Jackson, we would never have witnessed the classic The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies. For his creations, we are truly thankful, but Jackson's reward was much bigger than some of his fans' praises and thanks. The famous director-producer now has $500 million stored in his investment account, having all of his financial issues sorted for good.
Robert Downey, Jr - $260 Million
Robert Downey, Jr. made his acting debut back in the '80s, and though he quickly became famous, he almost disappeared during the '90s and the early '2000s due to cannabis abuse and other problems, that restricted his ability to land quality roles. It wasn't until 2008, when he appeared in the Iron Man film, that the celebrity found his way back to the limelight, while also bagging $260 million in his online checking account.
The Playboy Mansion - Estimated $100 Million
The late Hugh Hefner's Playboy Mansion was listed in 2016 for the price of $200 million, but it looks like billionaire businessman Daren Metropoulos got his hands on the prime real estate for "just" $100 million. Not too shabby! The iconic mansion includes 29 bedrooms, three gardens (more like forests), and many other contemporary features.
Blake Shelton - $60 Million
Blake Shelton first became famous as a country music singer and composer. However, he then managed to make money, even more, when he became a coach on the hit NBC show The Voice, guiding young, aspiring singers who wanted to be celebrities just like him. His annual salary is estimated to be around $4 million, and that led the celebrity to a $60-million fortune.
James Patterson - Estimated $750 Million
James Patterson can't even recall how many millions of copies he has sold throughout the years. He's been most famous for the Alex Cross series, which remain his top-selling releases until today. It might sound unbelievable, but Patterson probably requires a team of investment bankers working for him, now that he has ended up with an estimated $750-million fortune.
Christopher Nolan - $180 Million
Christopher Nolan's directing gift has given us some of the best films we have ever witnessed, and while his Memento and Inception films were magnificent, the Dark Knight trilogy launched his credit score to interstellar heights (get, it?). Speaking of which, Interstellar made him a directing sensation among Hollywood circles, and because of all those feats, Nolan now enjoys a $180-million fortune.
Wayne Gretzky - $200 Million
58-year-old former professional ice hockey player Wayne Gretzky gained recognition all over the world and not only that he also received many prestigious accolades throughout his career as a token of appreciation for his achievements. He did leave an impact on everyone around him. As for his net worth is concerned it does all the talking on his behalf. After a glorious career, this is expected of him to be very honest.
Bruce Springsteen - $460 Million
Bruce Springsteen is an American rock music legend, whose dividends over the years have been nothing short of incredible. Now sitting on a $460-million fortune, Springsteen has won more than a dozen awards for his talent, and he's still one of the highest-selling artists in the US. If you can't imagine how successful a musician he has been, just visit one of his shows, if you can get yourself a ticket on time!
Bjorn Ulvaeus - $300 Million
Speaking of retirement, Bjorn Ulvaeus, the 'mastermind' behind the renowned Swedish pop band, ABBA, seems to be building up his retirement investment funds well. For one thing, as he's no longer that active as he used to be as a musician, sources say that he's now focusing on composing new music. But he does more than that - Ulvaeus also works as a producer. In fact, he has co-produced the classic musical play, Mamma Mia!
Mark Wahlberg - $255 Million
Mark Wahlberg made his first cash as a Calvin Klein model, but he never expected that his investment account would grow that big later. His acting career changed his financial game once and for all, and he's now among the top action film stars in Hollywood. However, Wahlberg has also appeared in comedies like Ted, proving that his acting versatility deserves a $255-million fortune.
Coldplay - $475 Million
It was the mid-'90s when out of nowhere, Coldplay appeared to become one of the best-selling rock bands the UK has ever produced. To this day, the British sensation has won 107 awards, including seven Grammy Awards. The band members' combined fortune is estimated to be around $475 million, but they have claimed to donate 10% of it annually to charity.
Tom Cruise - $570 Million
Back in 1986, the world had witnessed the birth of a new Hollywood star, named Tom Cruise, who had just landed the lead role in his breakthrough film, Top Gun. His next success was his star role in the Mission Impossible franchise, which catapulted his earnings to the stratosphere, and helped him reach his present fortune, estimated to be around $570 million.
Mariah Carey - $520 Million
Mariah Carey became known for her voluptuous shape and her unique voice, which granted us classic hit songs like All I Want for Christmas Is You. The singer-producer has had a prolific career and even though she's not that been active lately, she has managed to keep her financial state in top shape, probably due to several smart investments she has made. Carey currently owns a $520-million fortune.
Bono - $700 Million
U2 holds the record for the most Grammy Awards wins, having bagged 22 of them as a band. Thus, it's only natural that their frontman Bono won't ever need to refinance himself. The Irish singer has accumulated a whopping $700-million fortune, having composed many of the band's most successful songs. You can now spot him spending his cash on his glamorous yacht, the Kingdom Come.
Shahrukh Khan - $600 Million
Sometimes, Bollywood produces stars that become even bigger than the ones in Hollywood, and the most famous of them all is Shahrukh Khan, who has made millions due to his Bollywood career. The Indian film industry might not be as renowned as the American one is, but in certain parts of the world, people like Khan are so popular that their checking account surpasses the ones of Western celebrities. As a result, Khan has ended up with a $600-million fortune.
Chuck Lorre - $800 Million
Chuck Lorre is responsible for some of the most famous TV shows, such as Two and a Half Men and The Big Bang Theory. Those series have earned a huge fan base, and at the same time, Lorre earned a pretty fat savings account. The renowned director/producer has been able to build a mindblowing $800-million fortune, and we wonder what's going to happen with all that cash when he releases his next hit show.
Celine Dion - $800 Million
You must know by now that Celine Dion is an international music icon, but did you know that she currently sits on a whopping $800-million fortune? The Canadian singer has sold more than 200 million records across the globe, and she has also won numerous awards, including five Grammys. With that much cash and an excellent wealth management, she's set to continuing living in total luxury for the rest of her life.
John Travolta - $170 Million
We can't even begin to mention the blockbusters John Travolta has participated in, and his financial advisor surely has a hard time managing all his assets. The iconic Grease and Pulp Fiction star has amassed a $170-million fortune, which he now mostly uses to purchase expensive toys like jets. He has even turned his home into a personal airport!
Mel Gibson - $425 Million
Having won two Academy Awards and one Golden Globe, Mel Gibson is a true Hollywood legend. He rose to stardom by starring in Lethal Weapon and in Mad Max, but what sent his 'bankability' through the roof was his leading role and directing work in Braveheart. Since then, the enduring showbiz heartthrob has amassed a $425-million fortune - which means that unlike many Americans, he is blissfully free of credit monitoring service agencies' scrutiny.
Ron Howard – $160 Million
From the very beginning, Ron Howard was meant to become a part of the entertainment industry. Being the famous offspring of an actor and an actress/producer, Howard’s childhood was spent in the sheer spotlight surrounded by cameras and big stars. All this exposure to showbiz at a tender age led to Howard’s participation in The Andy Griffith Show when he was just a child. However, acting was not Howard’s actual passion, he was always destined for directing. Howard’s directing portfolio is filled endlessly with major hits including films like Cocoon and more mainstream films including Solo: A Star Wars Story. Howard has shown his directorial genius in almost all important genres and now his film Willow will be adapted into a Disney movie as well. His glorious career led to him earning an even more glorious net worth of $160 million.
Meghan, Duchess of Sussex - $5 Million
While many might believe that Meghan Markle's marriage to Prince Harry was the source of all her wealth, the American actress already had a $5-million fortune of her own, even before becoming Royalty material. Her dividends mostly came from her TV appearances, primarily on the Suits TV show. However, her wealth will now surely explode, after tying the knot to a member of the Royal family.
Bart Starr - $4 Million
Born in 1934, the American professional football player Bryan Bartlett Starr is known as the only quarterback to lead three consecutive times in the NFL history. He played all his career from 1956 to 1971 for Green Bay Packers. Bart is also the member of the Packers Hall of Fame. His massive bank balance tells the tale of his glorious career.
Rachel Maddow – $20 Million
Since Rachel Maddow is known for getting vocal, her success as a news anchor is no surprise. She has been hosting her own TV news program, The Rachel Maddow Show, on MSNBC for almost ten years now. Rachel has a reported salary of $7-million per year, while her total fortune is estimated at $20 million. A number which should only go upwards from here onwards, especially given the release of her 2019 book called Blowout: Corrupted Democracy, Rogue State Russia, and the Richest, Most Destructive Industry on Earth. She owns a $1.25-million apartment in New York City.
Martin Lewis – $152 Million
If there's one thing Martin Lewis knows about, it's money. For that reason, it's no wonder he was able to collect a personal fortune of about $153 million. Best-known as the webmaster of the popular MoneySavingExpert.com website, Lewis is also a go-to financial expert for popular British TV shows such as Good Morning Britain. While in college, Lewis attempted stand-up comedy briefly, but it immediately became clear that economics was his area of expertise. Not only a financial wiz, but Lewis is also a brilliant communicator and a likable character who connected well with British and American audiences.
Elton John - $500 Million
Elton John sitting on a $500-million fortune is just natural. Sir Elton has been nothing but success since his time in the entertainment scene, and he has composed and performed some of the most iconic songs. Having sold millions of copies, his earnings throughout the past years had been off the roof, and even now, every appearance of his is a sold-out event. No wonder he's one of the richest celebrities in the UK.
