David Copperfield | Illusionist and Magician | $1 Billion

David Copperfield is a pioneer in the world of illusion and magic. He also holds the distinction for being the wealthiest magician in the world, with a net worth of $1 billion. His name is known from generation to generation up to today. With his talent and undying tricks that amused audiences, his shows are always a sold out. It is no surprise that his way of entertaining does not seem to die down.  Aside from having a prolific career, he earned most of this through shows he does at the MGM in Las Vegas every year. Copperfield earns a reported $40 to $60 million annually through this contract.

We have to credit his generosity as well. After Las Vegas was closed off due to the Corona pandemic, he was among the few who retained his staff and continued to pay them out of pocket. Also, if Copperfield is not busy entertaining he takes care of his resort in Bahamas.
