The richest Russian singer. When hip-hop is a cult. She is not inferior to her throne


Forbes has published the ranking of the highest paid stars in 2016. It is based on a set of revenues from core activities, advertising projects and income from own business ventures. In comparison with the past, in 2015, the twenty leaders have changed significantly.

Then the most sought-after profession was associated with sports, and tennis players Maria Sharapova and boxers Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather shared three leading positions, and today the most highly paid profession, judging by the rating, is far from sports, and the leading positions of the rating are stars of show business.

Who will claim the richest place for musicians?

Interesting fact: Andrew Lloyd Webber collects fees from two songs that he wrote for anyone except Elvis Presley. He will take some serious power moves for newcomers to oust one of the 10 richest musicians. Each of the above magnates has his hands in a variety of cans that extend far beyond the music. The next generation is better prepared for the hectic!

But everything goes the other way around. Any of these movie celebrities can make the right investment in their own musical career, and if they can start a trend, then boom, instant billionaire status. You know, when you look at the true net worth of rich online, especially artists, you tend to find that they really don’t make all their luck with their art. Whether they are singers, artists or overwhelming actors, their wages play only a minor role in their income.

1. Taylor Swift ($ 170 million)

  By right, Taylor Swift takes the first place - an American singer who, compared to last year, increased her fee almost three times, and today is the richest woman in the world. The singer achieved such success thanks to a concert tour organized in honor of the release of the album “1989”, which sold about 4 million copies and brought the singer most of her 2016 fee. The remaining income from advertising projects.

2. One Direction ($ 130 million)

The second place belongs to the British group "One Direction", which, despite changes in the composition of the team, could make good money by continuing the tour in support of the album "Four", released last year. In addition to the shocking news about the disintegration of the group, public interest in the group grew after rumors of the romance of the group singer Niall Horan and Selena Gomez.



The richest artists of our time bought their mansions with investment money or branded money. Don't get me wrong, they still sell horrible records, and they are all extremely talented in their chosen genre, for me it is a little surprising that their earnings come from different places.

So, let's look at the top ten richest singers and find out where they earned. Have you ever heard of Nana Mouskouri? Little pedestrian for me, but she has a beautiful voice. Writing in many different genres and languages, the singer is one of the few on this list who seems to have made the most of his money solely through her singing. She now owns property all over the world and currently lives in a luxurious mansion in Cologne, Switzerland, but she is also one of the best-selling artists of all time.

3. Cristiano Ronaldo ($ 88 million)

  Cristiano Ronaldo - one of the best football players in the world and concurrently the richest athlete of our time rightfully deserves to be in the top three. Already that year does not slow down both financially and in sports.



When hip-hop is a cult

Therefore, diversification was not a problem for her. Now everyone knows "Jenny from the block." Here we see the advantages of diversification. She did not make the most of her money from her singing career. She currently lives in a penthouse in New York. Mother of modern pop divas. The girl for whom this is all. After a successful turn on Broadway with “Funny Girl,” she made the transition to the film.

The income generated by her various albums and films, combined with her work as a director and producer, gained her quite a fortune. She currently lives in a beautiful mansion in Malibu, but did not take a picture of him, or she will be rooting for you lawyers. Is it too pleasant to hear that this is what Shania is doing? She is also one with a condition that mainly accumulates in her music. She rose to fame in the mid-nineties and became one of the country's biggest stars in the world. Her tours are regularly sold out, and high workers, and for some reason her albums are still selling remarkably well.

Madrid Real pays about $ 50 million for it, the rest of the income is fees for advertising, commercial projects and profits from its own sportswear line.

4. Lionel Messi ($ 81.5 million)

  Lionel Messi - one of the richest sportsmen in the world - is not far behind his main rival. The main income is the fee from the football club Barcelona - about $ 50 million.



Is my contempt for her too much? Pipes on this woman, good lord. She started from scratch, wrote most of her own music and consistently published good records for years. The queen of asset diversification, she earned money not only on music, but also on movies, books, clothes and, of course, on her own theme park. What a strange thing when you think about it. Despite this, she also owns a wide variety of property throughout the country and recently transferred a weirdly littered clutter of property in West Hollywood for sale.

The rest of the profit comes from working with brands like Adidas and Samsung.

5. Adele ($ 80.5 million)

  An honorable place in the ranking of the British singer Adel brought last year’s album “25”, which is still a success today - 3.3 million copies were sold in the very first week, and a billion people watched the “Hello” video for 3 months.



She made her wealth through her music, first in a band, then as a solo artist. Pleased to listen, but it does not touch me. She had a successful career as an entrepreneur, earning income from several Cuban themed restaurants on the west coast, she also has a small share in the Miami dolphins. Her other businesses include books, fashion and perfume. But the rest of her back catalog, apparently, lacks the high tempo of this track. She currently heads the Caesar Palace in Las Vegas for an undisclosed sum, although no doubt it’s just as funny.

6. Madonna ($ 76.5 million)

  That year Madonna hits do not leave the leading positions of all the charts! The singer is deservedly considered one of the most popular performers, and it is not surprising that the income from the tenth round brought her a record amount - about $ 170 million.



Her musical career spanned decades and earned her overwhelming majority of her good fortune. Although it diversified in other business projects. She also owns a golf club, a restaurant and a nightclub. Her multi-year order in Las Vegas was another big source of income. Singer, actress, songwriter and entrepreneur Madonna did it all. She is known for her rethinking on stage and genre covering the back catalog of music. Her business ventures outside music include a wide range of branded goods, clothing, books, makeup, fragrances, you name it, she sells it.

With this Madonna once again confirmed her title as one of the most successful solo performers.

7. Rihanna ($ 75 million)

  The young singer from the first days of her creative work won the hearts of millions of fans, so it is not surprising that the global sales of her album “Anti” only exceeded 3 million copies over the past month, thanks to which Rihanna managed to earn a decent amount.



Madonna has attracted a successful career as a singer in a multimedia empire that spans the entire globe. Ten of the richest female singers in the world. Let me point it out again, it seems to me that as soon as you make a million dollars, it is surprisingly easy to do two, three, four, and more. And for each of them, all that was required was a small talent and this spark of luck, which promoted a talented striker, which rarely recognized an extraordinary little moment in their life that made them famous.
