Madonna | Musician | $850 Million

All hail the queen. Madonna is a living legend and heavily regarded as one of the most influential figures in pop culture. She is known to be the “Queen of Pop” — an idol to many and pushes a lot of aspiring singers to reach their dream. Madonna is among the highest-grossing recording artists of all time. She deserves all the nominations and awards under her name, and there’s a lot that you cannot count them.

Her power and influence go beyond the realm of music. Madonna is also a muse to many fashion designers, thanks to her boundary-pushing personal style. She’s a legend in the industry, but did you know she’s also a skilled businesswoman? No business loans needed for her ventures, however. Madonna’s empire consists of the entertainment company Maverick, various fashion collaborations with top brands such as dolce and Gabbana, the Material Girl clothing line, as well the MDNA skin care line sold in the United States and select countries in Asia.
