Not sure if anyone saw this already but check out #28 on the list:

***The figures contained in this list were acquired from all publicly available information including salaries, real estate holdings, divorces, record sales, royalties and endorsements. The final net worths come from a formula that takes out taxes, manager’s fees, agents’ fees, and lifestyle.***

The 50 Richest Lead Singers in the World:

#1: Paul McCartney Net Worth – $800 Million (The Beatles)
#2: Bono Net Worth – $600 Million (U2)
***There was a time when Bono’s net worth could have topped $1 billion. Through his private equity venture Elevation Partners, Bono purchased a 1.5% private stake in Facebook long before the IPO. Had the company achieved a $100 billion market cap, Bono may have been the first billionaire rock star. Currently Facebook’s market cap is $44 billion.***

I find it hard to believe that Eddie is worth more than some of the people below him.

You gotta remember, the Stevie Nicks and Roger Daltreys of the world blew a lot of money on drugs and shit.

But what about Fogerty's legendary collection of CCR socks, panties, and hoodies? Was all that money lost on egg futures??

I have serious doubts about the reliability of that site. Here is an example: You can search Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys and the site tells you that he is/was worth $75 million. However, when Yauch died a few weeks back it was widely reported that the value of his estate was $6.4 million.

The PJ definitely have big bucks but I would take the information on "Celebrity Net Worth" with a grain of salt.

Bobby Dylan and Billy Joe were the two that jumped out at me right away.

Net worth isn't just how much money you have in your savings account, dudes.

Somewhere, Eddie Van Halen is making that grandpa face he does so well because he doesn't qualify for this list.

Glad to see Scott Weiland made the top 50, he's been partying like it's 1994, since 1994.

I'd be curious to know how net worth varies between the band members. Not just for Pearl Jam but all these groups.

For Ten the band split royalties evenly and then switched to a 36% cut to Eddie, 16% to everyone else. But I don't think that matters much in the long run since album sales don't bring in big cash in the 21st Century. Matt might very well be the richest of all of them because of his dual success with Soungarden and PJ. I imagine Eddie has earned more than the rest of the original PJ guys but I'm sure his divorce cut his fortune in half.

The only shocker on this list is Jimmy Buffet. I know he has had a good run, but 400 million?
