If you want to see Stevie Nicks or The Doobie Brothers live in concert, be prepared to spend at least $75 to $125 per ticket. Wow! That’s not like the good ole day’s right? Our research show that the Eagles, Pink Floyd, or Bruce Springsteen concert tickets in the 70s would have set you back less than $25 per ticket. That means singers and songwriters are making more money today than ever. So how much money does your favorite singer have today?
1.) Paul McCartney is worth over $1.4 billion dollars
2.) Bono from U2 is worth an estimated $700 million
3.) Elton John has at least $500 million in the bank
4.) Jimmy Buffett (and this surprises us) has over $490 million on hand
5.) Mick Jagger is worth an estimated $380 million
6.) The Boss Bruce Springsteen has a net worth of $350 million
7.) Ringo Starr (sorry Pete Best) is worth over $345 million
8.) Keith Richards has an estimated $335 million to work with
9.) Dave Matthews, Gene Simmons, Jon Bon Jovi, Sting, and members of Kiss are all worth at least $300 million.
