U2 – $838 million
It is no question that each member of U2 has earned a significant fortune following years of hard work as legendary musicians, with Bono himself reportedly having a net worth of $700 million, but as a band, U2 is also worth millions. With over 170 million records sold and 22 Grammy Awards received, the Ireland-bred rock band is known as one of the most successful rock bands in history.
Even if they don’t create new music anymore, the band still earns a hefty amount of money that will leave them with a solid credit score for many years to come. Their reputation when they were still actively creating new sound and performing everywhere already paved the way for them to secure their future. Now, they are looked up to by contemporary performers. On top of that, they are all living a life of luxury. Their royalties have come a long way, and until now, they are still reaping the benefits.
