Ed Sheeran | Singer-Songwriter | $200 Million

Today, Ed Sheeran ranks among the wealthiest musicians in the world. He can earn anywhere from $70 million to $100 million for every music tour. However, finding his success wasn’t an easy road for the talented singer-songwriter. He released his first EP in 2005, but only received minimal success. Ed continued to work hard over the next three years and slowly gained a loyal following to his credit. He did everything from small gigs to collaborations with a number of artists, he even toured with Just Jack.

From performing in small London venues, he went on to headline his own tours. His string of chart-toppers, including the massively successful Shape of You and Thinking Out Loud, helped the singer gain worldwide recognition. Just like that, he has sold more than 150 million records worldwide to date and is considered definitely one of the best-selling music artists today. His tours and concerts also hit the record of highest-grossing of all time in 2019.
