The 50 Wealthiest Rock Stars In The World
This list was estimated by RAW Magazine (UK) in September 1994. Yeah, Jon Bon Jovi is the wealthiest rock star of his generation in the world with about £80,000,000 (4,800,000,000 Baht) in the bank. Mind you, this was before 'Always' made another hole in the ozone layer!!
Again, I skipped some extensions that are NOT interesting.
1. Jon Bon Jovi (Bon Jovi)
about : £ 80 Million
Albums sales : 34 Million Copies (please note, this was before 'Always'!!)
Based on total album sales that is rising and rising. Several songs of Bon Jovi are still played, frequently. And the tours, which gain heaps of money are continuing. The crowds they pull to be fans are increasing as well. Fantastic merchandise sales, video sales , MTV airplays and his solo work, all help increase the money in the bank account. He's the wise businessman. He also takes part in the management of Bon Jovi and runs his own lebel, Jambco which is a part of Phonogram.
2. W. Axl Rose (Guns N' Roses)
about : £ 47.4 Million
Albums sales : 46 Million Copies
3. Richie Sambora (Bon Jovi)
about : £ 46 Million
Albums sales : 30 Million Copies
The partner of song writing and right hand of Jon Bon Jovi. He co-wrote a lot of hit songs of Cher. His throwing into the live Bon Jovi performing which is very famous, help making money a lot. There's a rumour that he's also a very intelligent investor. However, his solo work seemed not to do as well as a half of Jon's.
