Considering i'm a massive fan of who is sitting firmly at number 1 it's hardly a surprise. I am surprised about Beyonce not being on the list though.

It's net worth though. Everyone on that list has been going for years and years so obviously they're going to have a bigger net worth. Beyoncé has a 19 year career behind her now, so eventually she'll be up in that list. Also, music doesn't sell well anymore, but back when all the females on that list were at their peak it was selling. Now artists have to make their money through touring more.

Im not surprised about Nana Mouskouri. Her career has probably been the longest on that list, and she has been very popular in much of the non-English-speaking world for most of that time.

The one I was surprised to see was Shania Twain. Her career is quite short by the standards of the others. But I guess she must be supremely popular in the US and her earnings reflect the enormity of country music there.
Im surprised not to see Reba Mcentire, but I guess like Shania her career is not all that long.

I deffo believe the person at number 1 has that much wealth, even maybe more because she has investments in businesses too besides music sales and concert revneue
.
She has a massive art collection worth millions too, she gave away a painting for charity which sold for about 7 million.

A lot of the top ten seem to have got so fabulously wealthy not solely through their record sales, but through investments made with their money which have paid off. Perhaps Shania made some really good choices.
