Mariah Carey – $500 million
Greatest Hits: Fantasy, Vision of Love, Love Takes Time.
We all know and love Mariah Carey for her angelic voice. She’s made plenty of popular music throughout the years. With songs like “Hero” and “One Sweet Day”, it’s no surprise that she’s made such a fortune. She wrote these songs herself, of course. She has more number-one singles than any other solo artist in the world, and most of these songs were written by her. As a matter of fact, Mariah sold over 200 million records worldwide throughout her career.

Andrew Lloyd Webber – $1.2 billion
Greatest Hits: Any Dream Will Do, Close Every Door, Everything’s Alright.
We have absolutely no doubt that Andrew Lloyd Webber is the most successful songwriter of all time. Famous for writing music for some of the most famous musicals, you can hear his songs in musicals like “Phantom of the Opera”, “Cats”, and “Jesus Christ Superstar”. There are many more musicals he’s famous for. However, that list is practically endless so we couldn’t include them all. Andrew also happens to be one of 15 people to have won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony — otherwise known as an EGOT winner.
