Elton John | Musician | $500 Million

He is one of music’s greatest icons, a songwriter, a pianist, and a composer that’s highly respected by his contemporaries. Elton John is one of the most commercially successful artists of all time and has managed to sell a staggering 300 million albums globally. In fact, in just a single year, John could easily earn $85 million from his various musical and business endeavors alone. With that said, though, it’s safe to say that none of these achievements would’ve been possible if it weren’t for his mom, Sheila Eileen Dwight, and stepfather, Fred Farebrother.

After noticing his passion for music, the two gave Elton the chance to play the piano at a local pub when he was 15; and the rest is history.The artist also owns quite an impressive real estate portfolio. He has homes all over the world, including ones in London, Los Angeles, and Venice. With so much to maintain, we hope he’s looked into home insurance for each of his properties.
