5.Jay Z\r
\r
His real name is Shawn Carter but you might know him as mega-music mogul and multi-millionaire rapper “Jay Z”. Ever heard of him? Yeah, we thought so. Jay Z has enjoyed decades of insane success as an entertainer and entrepreneur. Its pretty humbling to know that this stacked celeb grew up in a housing project in Brooklyn, New York and now is worth an estimated net worth of $610 million dollars. Jay Z can attribute his enormous wealth to his founding of his record label, Roc-A-Fella records and all of its related enterprises like Rocawear clothing and Roc Nation Sports. He also served as president of Def Jam Records, a mega record label that helped to launch the careers of many famous artists like Rihanna and Ne-Yo. We dont even have enough time to tell you all about Jay Zs business triumphs like his 40/40 Club in New York City, his Ace of Spades Champagne, or all of his multi-platinum albums. But well just say this: everything this guy touches turns to gold. Seriously, everything. Each one of the Jay Zs in the picture is a representation of $10 million dollars in his bank account. No wonder hes smiling so big.\r

4.Beyonce\r
\r
If you thought JayZ had a lot of money, then imagine how much money he has when paired with his wife and all around goddess of life, Miss Beyonce Knowles. As of March 2017, it was estimated Beyonce has a net worth of $470 million dollars. Due to the continuing popularity of her trendy yet timeless music, it doesnt look like this divas net worth is going to keep on rising. Beyonce Knowles rose to celebrity fame when she and her band mates , Kelly Rowland and Michelle William took on the music world as the band Destinys Child. Together, the girl group went on to sell 60 million albums. Since going solo, Queen Bey has gone on to win 22 Grammys and 24 MTV Video Music Awards, experience continuous placement on the Billboard 100 and Forbes Most Influential Lists, and sell 100 million albums worldwide. Thanks to 2016s Lemonade album, she became the first artist of all time to experience having six albums debut at number one on a Billboard 200 chart. What cant this woman do?! \r

3.Jerry Seinfeld \r
\r
Most comedians are thought of as the American everyman. They drink beer and make audiences listen to poignant but funny observations about life. Often times, theyll even joke about how low the numbers are in their bank accounts. Well, Jerry Seinfeld might have a hard time doing that. This corky comic is valued at an alleged net worth of $860 million dollars. It seems absurd that Seinfeld would have this much money, as he hasnt starred in a successful film or television comedy in over a decade. But the insane popularity of he and creator Larry Davids smash sitcom “Seinfeld” was such a hit that it still earns syndicated profit to this very day.Although its clear that Seinfeld doesnt have to worry about money ever again, this comedy icon sells out standup shows worldwide. We wont give any hints ,but our next two richest celebrities are in the sports and music field. That makes Jerry Seinfeld the highest paid or of all time! Now thats pretty insane.\r
\r
2.Tiger Woods\r
\r
Well just cut to the chase here- Tiger Woods has a net worth of an estimated $900 million dollars. Golfing god Tiger Woods has been a sports icon ever since winning his first Masters golf tournament at the ripe age of only twenty one years old. Although many athletes come close to rivaling Woods net worth, he has been labeled as one of the best sportsmen of all time. For example, basketball maverick Lebron James is worth $600 million dollars. But that pales in comparison to Woods, who earns over 90 percent of his money from endorsement deals. Woods has won multiple golf championships including being named the PGA player of the year ten times in twelve years. Overall, Woods has won the Masters Tournament 4 times, The US Open 3 times, The Open Championship 3 times, and the PGA Championship 4 times. Although many of his endorsement companies have ended their ties with Woods, he still earns $20 million dollars a year from Nike. Just think of it this way- with all of his money, Tiger Woods could play 90 million games of mini golf. \r
\r
1.Madonna\r
\r
And drumroll please- the wealthiest celebrity in the world is Madonna, the Queen of Pop herself. To be honest, we would have never guessed this one. But many of us are millennials, so maybe thats why. Although her net worth now is at an estimated $560 million dollars, her career total has grossed in a total of over one billion dollars before taxes.
