The Top 10 Richest Recording Artists In the World

Justin Bieber may be the richest celebrity under the age of 30, but he is nowhere near the top of this list.

This time, Madonna is leading the pack.

Wealth-X recently released the list of the world's richest recording artists and she came out on top.

I was a little surprised by this, seeing that we haven't had much good music from Madonna in the last 10 or 15 years, but she's been making money somehow. A lot of money!

The list is based on each artist's net worth. I have a feeling in less than ten years, Beyonce will move up.

1. Madonna, $800 million
2. Paul McCartney, $660 million
3. Dr. Dre, $650 million
4. Sean "Diddy" Combs, $640 million
5. Celine Dion, $630 million
6. Bono, $590 million
7. Mariah Carey, $520 million
8. Jay Z, $510 million
9. Elton John, $450 million
10. Beyonce, $440 million
