Paul McCartney at the top was a no-brainer. His wife's family, the Eastmans were Entertainment lawyers who helped Paul make wise investments.

Jimmy Buffett who passed away just a few months ago would be in second place at $1 billion.

Bono and U2 would not have had a career but for Paul McGuinness. It was he that guided them in their investments such as Facebook.

Bob Dylan is lyrically supreme (and is still on the road) amongst all of them, no one has written lyrics in so many genres as Mr Dylan and he has influenced them all too. Money richness is not an answer to "Real talent"

I don’t know where you got your information from, but it is really suspect! For instance, how can Sade Adu; who was only a singer and virtually a one-hit wonder at that and ceased preforming not long after her hit, be worth more than than Freddie Mercury who had many mega hits, performed all over the world and wrote many of Queen’s hits. Very suspect!

The main point is if this video shows the net worth during the life or even after the death. "...by 2024, Sade Adu's net worth has reached an impressive $70 million, a testament to her enduring appeal and the timeless quality of her music." "Feb 27, 2024 - Freddie Mercury was a British singer/songwriter and musician who had a net worth of $50 million at the time of his death in 1991" "Nov 2, 2021 - According to a report on This Is Money, Freddie amassed a £50million fortune in the 20 years after his death, which is believed to be double ..."

​@@17_73 No, she didn't sell anything to Michael Jackson. Back then, Michael Jackson bought a music catalog that had some (not many) Elvis songs. it was a catalog of various musicians. a catalog that Paul McGagney actually wanted to buy from the Beatles. It had nothing to do with Lisa Marie. Lisa Marie never owned 90% of Elvis Presley's music rights, but RCA. Elvis Presley sold most of his music rights back then. What many people don't know (Forbes magazine said it three years ago): "When the Forbes list says who is the richest dead person, only a small part of Elvis Presley's music rights (10%) are included because they are Elvis heirs have few music rights (10%). In the list - the richest dead - only the income that the heirs actually inherited makes the real profit from Elvis Presley music the list!" For Michael Jackson, all of his income is included in the Forbes list, even the income that has nothing to do with his music. Because Michael Jackson's heirs inherited everything. Forbes himself said that.

Majority of those faces had wealth from the music industry when album sales of vinyl, cassette and CD was it. The digital, streaming, apple ipod age of internet downloads killed the earning potential. Now its just singles for pennies. And as the gentleman below me mentioned, the wealth was oft from other investments.

This set was made to get a reaction and comments. I find the list wrong on many artists Neil Young sold his catalogue for 200 Mill

Where the hell did you get these figures...joking

Geddy Lee only 50 million?

I think the maker of this video has confused the singer Robert Palmer with a business man of the same name, who owns a company called RP Values. He's worth around $165m. While the singer's estate was worth around $10m when he died.
