I thought with the Madonna/brother thread, it would be interesting to see her net worth. According to the site...

Madonna
Madonna, whose birth name is Madonna Louise Ciccone, is an influential and best-selling recording artist whose album sales have exceeded 200 million copies worldwide and whose net worth is estimated to be $650 million. Born in Bay City, Michigan on August 16, 1958, she moved to Rochester Hills, Michigan with her family and spent her youth in that small city. Madonna moved to New York in 1977 to pursue a career in modern dance. While there, she began a career as a professional singer and recorded her first hit album, Like a Virgin, in 1984.

She had a second hit album, True Blue, in 1986. These two hit albums catapulted her to superstardom and, around the same time, Madonna landed her first acting role in the movie, Desperately Seeking Susan. Madonna has frequently operated “on the edges,” pushing sex in her recordings and in a coffee table book she wrote that was actually called Sex. The Recording Industry Association of America has ranked Madonna as the Best-Selling Female Rock Artists of the 20th century. She is also the Number Two best-selling female artist in the U.S. with 64 million certified albums sold. Guinness World Records has labeled her the most successful female artist of all time.



Also according to the site in the link...

I think Mick Fleetwood's is kind of impressive. He went broke in the mid-eighties I believe. He blew his first fortune on high living and bad business deals. This is his second fortune.

Man, I was impressed when I discovered how some of the musicians earn. But it's cool to know that if you have talent and ambitions, you can become rich and successful. And I believe that it'll be fair to say it not only about musucians, but people of other fields, as well. Just look at all those celebrities here. There are actors, sportsmen, politicians and people of other professions who achieved a great success in their life.
