You're suprised?
It's always a bit depressing for us mere mortals when Forbes posts net worth rankings or annual celebrity income, but it's hard to keep curiosity aside. Although we can usually expect Dr. Dre to be at the top of the lists, it is interesting to see how much he has and to see all the people below his fortune.
Forbes just added to the fun by sharing a list of the highest paid musicians of the 2010s. Dr. Dre sits comfortably first after raising $ 950 million. It seems a little unfair or inaccurate when Dre is included in the music lists, as he has amassed most of his money through commercial ventures rather than traditional music-related media. He sold Beats By Dre to Apple for $ 3 billion in 2014 and still holds a roughly 20% stake in Apple.
A striking fact from the list may be that Taylor Swift (# 2) outperformed Beyoncé (# 3). With more frequent tours and on larger scales than Bey usually does, which may account for much of the discrepancy in her earnings. . Swift was also named the highest-paid artist in the world in 2019, after her Reputation Stadium Tour set a US $ 266 million record.
Although Michael Jackson's name is missing from the list, Forbes noted that he would have surpassed all other musicians if the posthumous gains were taken into account. Its equity has raised a total of $ 2.37 billion over the past decade.
