The American site Celeb Networth has just established the ranking of the planet's ten richest singers, to be discovered on closeermag.fr.
Baby, You 're a rich man, Paul McCartney sang in 1967 along with the Beatles. The Song of Prophecy? Forty-five years on, the Englishman ranks predictably among the top ten richest singers in the world, with a fortune valued at $800 million, or €661 million. His legendary Rolling Stones enemy Mick Jagger ranks five with his $305 million, a jackpot that is just under half the Paul McCartney jackpot.
In the second stage, another group leader, this time Irish, with its 600 million dollars, it is Bono from U2. American singer Jimmy Buffet finishes this podium with $400 million.
The Celeb Networth website ranking includes all income, whether it is wages, advertising or royalties.
