You know, when you look at the true net worth of the wealthy
online, especially artists, you tend to find that they didn’t
really make all that much of their fortune through their art.
Whether it’s singers, painters or actors in the vast majority,
their salary only plays a minor role in their income. The
wealthiest artists of our time bought their mansions with
investment money, or branding money. Don’t get me wrong, they still
sell an awful lot of records, and are all supremely talented in
their chosen genre, it’s just a little surprising to me that their
earnings come from all sorts of places.
The Top 10 Richest Female Singers – 2016 True Net Worth List
So let’s take a look at the top ten richest female singers, and
find out where they made their money.
#10 – Nana Mouskouri Net Worth 2016 – $280
Million

Have you ever heard of Nana Mouskouri? No? Neither had I until
today. I’ve made a point of actually listening to the music of each
of the women on this list and I have to say, she’s not bad. A
little pedestrian for me, but she has a fine voice. The Greek born
singer has a true net worth of $280
million. She had made a name for herself
in the pop world of the sixties on-wards. Recording in a wide
variety of genres, and languages, the singer is one of the few on
this list who seems to have made most of her money exclusively via
her singing. Now, she does own property all over the world, and is
currently residing in a lavish mansion in Cologny, Switzerland, but
she is also one of the top-selling artists of all time. So
diversification wasn’t really an issue for her.
#9 – Jennifer Lopez Net Worth 2016 – $300
Million

everyone knows “Jenny from the block”. Her true net worth is
sitting at $300 million.
Here’s where we see the benefits of diversification. She did not
make the majority of her money from her singing career. Her
high-profile appearance as a Judge on “American Idol” netted her a
multi-million dollar salary. Coupled with the earnings from her
film career, her recent starring role on TV show “Shades of Blue”,
countless clothing, fragrance and accessory lines, and a few savvy
investments, all add up to an income that cannot be sneezed at. She
recently listed her three acre luxury mansion as for sale, so if
you have $14.5 million handy you know who to call. She currently
lives in a penthouse apartment in New York.
#8 – Cher Net Worth 2016 – $320 Million

Cher, stupid! She’s a damn Oscar winner with a net worth
of $320 million. Her annual
salary hits $28 million and she currently splits her time between
her Malibu mansion, worth $45 million, and a small beach house in
Venice, worth $1.8 million. She is one of the best-selling artists
of all time, from her early days as one half of Sonny
& Cher to her massively successful career as a solo
artist. She churned out pop ballad after pop ballad, and even
veered into Rock & Roll with a high-profile 1981
collaboration with Meatloaf. She has also earned quite a bit of
cash appearing in a number of high grossing films from the 1980’s
until present.
#7 – Barbra Streisand Net Worth 2016 – $340
Million

mother of the contemporary pop diva. The girl for whom it is all
about. Barbra Joan Streisand’s true net worth sits
at $340 million. The woman
has been parodied so many times that I can’t look at her picture
without laughing. She first hit the big time as a teenager, singing
in nightclubs and making guest appearances on “The Tonight Show”.
After a successful turn on Broadway with “Funny Girl” she made a
transition into film. The income earned through her various albums
and films, coupled with her work as a director and producer has
gained her quite the fortune. She currently lives in a beautiful
mansion in Malibu, but don’t take a picture of it or she’ll sick
her lawyers on you.
#6 – Shania Twain Net Worth 2016 – $350
Million
http://tc/maxwidth.2048/tc.service.weibo.com/gazettereview_com/1f78c6ec1392776cecfa0812f8e503dd.jpgDion位居第二（净收入）" TITLE="最新全球10大富豪女歌手排名，Celine Dion位居第二（净收入）" />That
pop country star from Ontario Canada has a true net worth
of $350 million, but that
don’t impress me much. See! Doesn’t feel too nice to hear that does
it Shania? Anyway, now that I’ve worked out some issues there back
to the actual bio. She’s another one with a fortune mostly amassed
through her music. She rose to fame in the mid-nineties and became
one of the biggest country stars in the world. Her tours are
routinely sold out, and high earners, and for some reason her
albums still sell remarkably well. Does my disdain for her come
across too strong? I always preferred Dolly Parton I guess.
#5 – Dolly Parton Net Worth 2016 – $500
Million
http://tc/maxwidth.2048/tc.service.weibo.com/gazettereview_com/be6b89b410615c2708181d4b96129bf8.jpgDion位居第二（净收入）" TITLE="最新全球10大富豪女歌手排名，Celine Dion位居第二（净收入）" />Speak
of the devil, eh? The pipes on this woman, good lord. She started
from nothing, wrote most of her own music and consistently put out
good records for years. Dolly’s true net worth sits
at $500 million. The Queen of
asset diversification, she made her money in not only music, but
films, books, clothing and of course her own theme park. Dollywood.
What a weird thing to have, when you think about it. I mean most
theme parks are based on a number of properties, Disneyland etc,
but Dollywood is sold as being based on one country singer.
Regardless, she is also owns a wide variety of property all over
the country and recently listed an oddly cluttered mess of a
property in west Hollywood for sale.
#5 – Gloria Estefan Net Worth 2016 – $500
Million
http://tc/maxwidth.2048/tc.service.weibo.com/gazettereview_com/1cc58d271580d3dfe904c4359f4ec1fa.jpgDion位居第二（净收入）" TITLE="最新全球10大富豪女歌手排名，Celine Dion位居第二（净收入）" />Gloria
was another one I’d never heard of. Her true net worth
is $500 million, tying with
Dolly. She made her wealth through her music, first in a group then
as a solo artist. The Cuban born artist is one of the most popular
Spanish language singers in the world, her
music is very good,
though I would consider her voice to lack punch. Pleasant to listen
to, but it doesn’t move me. She has had a successful career as an
entrepreneur, earning income off of several Cuban themed
restaurants on the west coast, she also has a minor stake in the
Miami Dolphins. Her other ventures include books, fashion and
perfumes.
#3 – Mariah Carey Net Worth 2016 – $520
Million

You know, I really thought I liked Mariah Carey’s music. All I want
for Christmas is a wonderfully sung song. But the rest of her back
catalog seems to lack the soaring highs of that track. Maybe I’m
not listening to the right songs, leave a comment and tell me what
I should be listening to. Anyway, Mariah Carey’s true net worth
sits at $520 million. This
fortune was amassed not only through her singing career, but she
too had a run as a judge on American Idol, with a salary of around
$18 million dollars. She is currently headlining Caesar’s Palace in
Las Vegas for an undisclosed sum, though no doubt it is equally
ridiculous.
#2 – Celine Dion Net Worth 2016 – $630
Million
http://tc/maxwidth.2048/tc.service.weibo.com/gazettereview_com/e3c68337eea2f6a7ed56f53dcf5e01ab.jpgDion位居第二（净收入）" TITLE="最新全球10大富豪女歌手排名，Celine Dion位居第二（净收入）" />The
Québécois Diva herself. Making a name for herself in the eighties
in Europe and Japan before hitting big in the States with her début
English album Unison. She has a true net worth
of $630 million. Her music career
has spanned the decades and earned her the vast majority of her
fortune. Though she has diversified into other business ventures.
She founded the Nickels fast food chain, though divested herself of
her stock in the late nineties. She owns Les Productions Feeling
Inc., a Quebec based agency for French-speaking singers. She also
owns a golf club, a restaurant and a night club. Her years long
booking in Las Vegas was another big source of income.
#1 – Madonna Net Worth 2016 –
$1 Billion
http://tc/maxwidth.2048/tc.service.weibo.com/gazettereview_com/cb3381d1f027adcd3ac1162480ae91c3.jpgDion位居第二（净收入）" TITLE="最新全球10大富豪女歌手排名，Celine Dion位居第二（净收入）" />Singer,
actress, songwriter and entrepreneur Madonna has done it all. And
it has paid dividends. Her true net worth is a
whopping $1 Billion, this makes
her not only the richest female singer in the world, but the
richest of all singers, regardless of gender. She is known for her
reinvention on the stage and a genre spanning back catalog of
music. Beginning in the 1980’s and remaining popular to this day.
Her business ventures outside of music include a wide variety of
branded merchandise, clothes, books, makeup, fragrances, you name
it she sells it. She owns a chain of fitness stores, Hard Candy
Fitness, founded an entertainment company, Maverick, and has made
appearances in film and television. Madonna has leveraged a
successful singing career into a multimedia empire that spans the
globe.
So there we have it. The top ten richest female singers in the
world. Allow me to point it out again, it seems to me that once you
make a million dollars it’s surprisingly easy to make two, three,
four and so much more. Money makes money. These stars could sit
back and live off interest payments for the rest of their lives,
hell I wouldn’t be surprised if that formed the bottom line for a
few of them. And for each of them all it took was a little talent
and that spark of luck that propels the talented forward, that
seldom acknowledged serendipitous little moment in their lives that
made them famous.
Let it not be said that they didn’t work hard, but their financial
advisers had to have worked pretty hard too.
