Right there STG, with nothing separating him from Mick (except $20 million)... as it should be.

Bono...what a shame, but he got into some great business deals and made a ton on the stock. Mick missed out and should be worth so much more.

Not having Allen Klein own your most successful output has got to help too....

Don't forget micks had several marriages and a lot of kids which bono doesn't have

I am surprised Alice Cooper did not make the list.

Bit surprised that Bowie isn't worth a bit more and that Kate Bush isn't there at all.

60s and 70s made him a little in arrears. expensive drugs

When i see that list i do understand why theres no money left for me

when you got over 10 million does it really matter.
Paul McCartney has the most but he is too tight to spend it. he cant take it with him that's for sure. maybe he does give some away who knows. he cant really even spend the interest unless he goes crazy mad on Amazon and E Bay lol
i would give 90 percent of it away if i had that much..

There is absolutely no factual data for these "celebrity net worth" lists that I have ever seen. This is part fantasy and part guesstimate.

How the hell is Jimmy Buffet worth so much? it can't be from his music must be other business intrests.

Exactly. How could anyone know this stuff? David Crosby was on one of these lists and he said he had no where near that kind of money.

What about Jon Bon Junk - talk about fans with zero taste

Why are they called 'lead' singers? Macca, Madonna, Elton, Bowie, etc, they're all the only singer.

What I find strange is that when searching for a person, one of the Google autofill choices is always "net worth". I have never clicked on this but it still continuously comes up. I have some friends who are higher ups at Google and to say they are preoccupied with net worth is like saying a fish is preoccupied with water. Perhaps that explains it.

I would bet that Mick is worth FAR more than that with film royalties and the property he owns. I also bet he likes to keep the REAL number private!

I woulda thought Geddy Lee would be much higher, considering how many albums and tours Rush has sold....only 3 members as well.

This only shows that Jagger and Rihards are really good at hiring people whom are really good at hiding all the money they have earned.

Would be interesting to have some idea of ABKCO's current financial worth.
They are a private company, wholly owned by the Klein family, I assume.
None the less there should be some information out in the public domain.

jimmy buffet has sold probably 100 million albums worldwide and makes a few million a year playing roughly 50 shows. he owns 2 restaruant chains, one of them is co owned by the outback steahouse company who has to pay buffet for licensing rights. buffet also owns mailboat records who have distributed releases by several bigger artists like def leppard and boz scaggs

Yeah that makes sense about the restaruant chains and the record label. I mean I know he is very scucsessful in music as well but I was just surprised him being in the top 10 on this list

The folks ahead of Jagger use sidemen on tours and recordings. Most of Rolling Stones money record sales not included, is a four way split. Madonna, Bono, Elton John, Buffet, use hired guns and pay them a salary.

Keith has done well..seems a few years ago he was at about 250m to 300m....not bad!

Peter Frampton is at only 30m? No way!! Did he not sell like 50m albums in the 70s?
