Who are the world’s wealthiest celebrities today? As you can see, the MINIMUM net worth necessary to be one of the world’s wealthiest celebrities right now is $600 million. When we first released our celebrity wealth rankings in 2010, Diddy topped the list with a net worth of $500 million. So the world’s wealthiest celebrity in 2010 would not even make the top ten richest persons in 2021.
The Canadian singer/songwriter has sold over 220 million albums worldwide and continues to be a very popular live performer. All 52 venues on her recent Courage World Tour in North America were sold out. The European leg had hardly begun and was completely sold out when the COVID-19 epidemic struck. Celine generates roughly $50 million in concert income over a touring year. Celine is arguably best recognized in the United States for her 1997 hit “My Heart Will Go On.” After being included in James Cameron’s “Titanic,” the song went on to win the Academy Award for Best Original Song. Celine Dion was the highest-grossing entertainer in the world from 2000 to 2010. Celine’s empire made nearly $720 million in that time span when you sum together ticket sales, record sales, merchandising, and all other sources of money! $500 million came from ticket sales across the world. Her Las Vegas act alone brought in $350 million of the $500 million total.
Kylie was at the top of our list of the 30 wealthiest celebrities in the world in March 2020, with a net worth of $1.2 billion. Forbes published a story headlined “Inside Kylie Jenner’s Web of Lies – And Why She’s No Longer A Billionaire” two months later, in which the author claimed to have been fooled by Kylie and Kris Jenner for years. Forbes said that all of Kylie and Kris’ prior stats were exaggerated or outright incorrect. They also claimed the pair used “forged tax documents” to establish their exaggerated incomes and net worth. Not to brag, but CelebrityNetWorth has spent the previous two years publicly debunking false stories about Kylie’s fortune. When Forbes put a $1.2 billion net worth on the table, we finally agreed.
Since the list began in 2009, Diddy is the only celebrity in the world to have been in the top 20 highest-earning celebrities every year. Diddy made over $1 billion in the 20 years between 2000 and 2020 owing to his vast business empire. Revolt TV, DeLeon tequila, Aquahydrate, and Ciroq vodka are among his current main interests. Diddy also owns the master recordings of a number of well-known musicians, including “The Notorious B.I.G.”
