Maybe this it just about Americans

OP says 'globally' in the title, though.

The World Series of music money-hoarders.

And yet there's only USA people on the chart.

FoxyFerengi@startrek.website · 1 pts · 137d (1 reply)

Nah. Celine is Canadian. Rihanna is from Barbados, and that's still where she spends a lot of her time.

Madonna is American but lives in the UK now and has for decades

Guess they just don't like McCarthy then 🤷

FoxyFerengi@startrek.website · 6 pts · 139d

Rihanna hasn't dropped an album in 10 years, and I think she has said she'll never make another album. I'm positive her wealth comes more from her very successful Fenty brand than her music (as much as I absolutely loved her music back in the day, she wasn't selling like Swift or Beyonce)

Edit: I'd say the same for Gomez, her wealth is probably from Rare Beauty nowadays

All I see is more rich people.

Almacca@aussie.zone · 3 pts · 138d

Hoarders.

Didnt know Jayz had popular songs. I always just saw him as Beyonce's husband.

jimmux@programming.dev · 6 pts · 139d

I think it's his businesses making him rich, and probably getting a cut from other artists he produces.

One of the most famous rappers of all time

BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 139d

I thought that was dre

winkerjadams@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 4 pts · 139d

Beats by dreâ„¢

SlurpingPus@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 139d (1 reply)

So, without that sale, Dre's worth is about zero bucks.

fuzzzerd@programming.dev · 1 pts · 138d

Depends how you look at it. You could have a couple hundred million, and then if you add a single billion you still "only" have "about a billion" the difference between a million and a billion is crazy.

hesh@quokk.au · 3 pts · 138d

Unethical amounts of wealth hoarding.
