Who is the highest paid singer in the world?

[planosteve]

Answer tomorrow if nobody gets it. And I’m betting nobody will. I'll drop some hints later.

[crocmommy]

Is this person still alive?

Is this person still alive?

OK, the contest is canceled. I got this from a discussion board. But, I found it was from an on-line magazine that is know for hoaxes. So, probably not true.

Nevermind

It was probably meant to promote the preeminance of Canada in the musical world.

I guess you've never had a Fat Lighfoot Burger.

The Canadian singer-songwriter-musician-poet has an estimated net worth of $185 million. He owes his fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. He also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Lightfoot Burger” chain) in Ottawa, a Football Team (the “Orillia Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderlightfoot - Canada), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Gordon) and a fashion line called “Gordon Lightfoot Seduction”.

That's why I asked.

He is not a highly paid singer...not remotely close to the highest.

He is a highly successful song writer..and sounds like investor as well..who sings.

The highest paid singer is the person that can command the highest price..for singing.

[BillB]

If the "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" is an indication of his work, he's way overpaid.

[Red Oak]

Bill you are dead wrong about that...........according to the civilized world.

Believe it or not a narrative about the sinking of a ship with all hands is not supposed to be a toe tapping happy song.

I've been a lifelong fan every since I first heard him sing "Me and Bobby McGee" on the radio in about 1970. I thought his voice was the best male singing voice I had ever heard. And he was a terrific poet with the ability to write songs that didn't sound mostly the same. Great guitar player, he was the whole package.
Probably saw him live at least a dozen times in California. Today at age 77 he is still touring. I don't know why, I'm sure he doesn't need the money.

It's been a rough year for the singer, but at least he has his millions of dollars to ease the pain. 38-year-old Luke Bryan has taken the No. 1 spot on People With Money’s top 10 highest-paid singers for 2015 with an estimated $96 million in combined earnings.

Well done, Glenn!

[jellowrestling]

Well, there isn't any question about who made the most money, depending on how you define "singer". Dr. Dre made over $600 million last year when he sold Beats to Apple.
