After the huge success of the show, Ramsay was fortunate enough to multiply his earnings as he got an opportunity to host more shows along with becoming an international restaurateur. And there is more – he even made it twice to the list of highest-paid celebs published by Forbes. He sure is a “Culinary Genius” as they call him!
Coldplay – $475 Million
Coldplay is currently one of the most famous rock bands in the world and this is the reason their tours are always sold out. Their recent A Head Full of Dreams Tour that ended last November is said to have grossed an amount as high as half a billion dollars by performing across five continents over two years.
This music team founded by Chris Martin is setting a benchmark as their odyssey has become the third biggest in the history of rock music concerts. Keep rocking guys!
Paul McCartney – $1.2 Billion
Hold your jaw before it drops! The music icon Sir Paul McCartney is not only known for the historical English rock band The Beatles but also for the massive riches that he has earned over the years. Other than winning the Grammy Awards 18 times, he has achieved several honors along with the one from the Queen of England.
And let us tell you – McCartney who has multiple income sources like tours and concerts, still gets royalties for his superhit albums that he recorded years ago. For someone with a talent as impeccable as his, having a thriving career and an enormous wealth is truly deserving.
Daniel Craig – $95 Million
While most would associate this notable actor with the ‘James Bond’ series, there were several other films like Goldfinger, Spectre, and Thunderball that helped Craig ride the pillar of success too. However, it was ‘Casino Royale’ that grossed extreme figures in terms of ratings and that would no doubt partially explain how this filmstar made so much in such a less time.
Even though he is now bored with the role, he has been reportedly signed for the upcoming Bond 25 and is now the richest of all the 007 actors. Great deal!
Elton John – $500 Million
The British musician remains one of the most sought-after artists for the unimaginable commercial success he has had with his work. But he was born ‘Reginald Dwight’ and only after the band ‘Bluesology’ happened, he took the name Elton John which got him tremendous popularity and money (the net value says it all!).
And after all these years of performing, he is still busy making more bucks through his ongoing tour Farewell which is going to be his last tour. Don’t you worry people, he is not completely retiring yet!
Adele – $185 Million
Nobody sings heartbreak songs as Adele does. Her powerful and soulful voice captured the hearts of many people across the world and that’s the reason her tour concerts are always a massive hit. Adele has three albums, all based on her age and all three garnered record-breaking sales.
Known for her jazz-inspired style, this 30-year-old singer-songwriter has won numerous prestigious accolades for her outstanding work ever since she started her career. Adele built her wealth solely on her music and she doesn’t have any endorsements as she believes it undermines her artistic integrity.
Prince Harry – $40 Million
Prince Harry, the 34-year-old member of the British royal family, has benefitted from the insane amount of wealth that comes with the tag “Royal”. At present, his net worth is estimated to be in the ballpark of $40 million (or £30 million).
Like his brother William, he has also inherited most of his wealth from their Queen mother – Diana. Most of you might be unaware that as a pilot in the British Army, Harry used to draw about $45,000. Well, given his current net worth, doesn’t that paycheck look like peanuts now?
Patrick Stewart – $70 Million
English actor Patrick Stewart is a well-known television and film personality who rose to fame through his portrayal of Captain Picard in the popular Star Trek series. Although he had predicted that the show will not work, it turned out to be a huge hit and made him super-rich.

Other than performing on-screen, Patrick has also been extensively involved in voice acting for several years and looking at his upcoming projects, his wealth is surely going to get higher.

After a health scare, Aldridge decided to hang his boots in April 2021 to focus on keeping himself healthy and taking care of his two sons. Despite his retirement, the star has enough money to last him and his family for a very long while, and we bet he’ll land a job away from the field soon.
Taylor Dee – $450K

She may not be a popular figure in the industry, but the artist was just beginning to show how talented she really was.
