I've never really understood what "net worth" exactly is apart from the fact it is completely not how much money said artist actually owns but, regardless, 1 billion dollars is one impressive feat! Just shows how much of a big deal Madonna was, is and always will be really and how chart success is only a small percentage of the takings.

I always thought Gloria Estefan was the woman who sang 'I Will Survive' tbh. Now that I know otherwise, I can't say I really know what she does either! laugh.gif

I'm very surprised about Gloria's worth, her sales don't really compare WW and what business ventures does she have?

Did she get a massive layout after she hurt her back ?

Yeah I'm surprised by the lack of Beyonce too - I'm sure I read her and Jay-Z had a collective net worth of over a billion dollars and I can't see Jay-Z making up that much.

Yeah that is odd as a quick google search states that Jay Z is worth $650 million ohmy.gif with Beyoncé a little under that with ~$400 million so not sure why she isn't here unsure.gif Although that mentions "net worth" which is apparently "the total assets minus total outside liabilities of an individual or a company" so maybe whatever this measures puts Beyoncé at a lower value. I'm sure she's not complaining however much she is worth though tongue.gif
