Being a singer and songwriter has high earning potential for those with talent. But not all singers are songwriters, and not all songwriters are singers.
However, most people who take on both tasks, i.e. being a singer-songwriter, are arguably the richest of them all.
While singers get paid for singing songs and releasing tracks, songwriters get paid royalties. When you’re a singer-songwriter, you effectively get paid twice.
The singer-songwriters in this list are well known for their unique and exceptional vocal talents as well as their abilities to write amazing songs – and they’ve each managed to earn millions doing this for a living!
