11. David Bowie ($100 million)
Another exceptional artist from the UK is David Bowie, a singer-songwriter with top hits like Changes, Modern Love, and Space Oddity. Bowie sold over 140 million albums globally, with ten albums reaching platinum.
Bowie was also famous for being the iconic figure Ziggy Stardust who was his alter-ego. In his attempt to combine theatre with rock music, Stardust was an instant hit amongst Bowie’s fans as he used to dress in latex costumes with thigh boots and a blue cape.
Sadly, Bowie was only 62 years old when he died, leaving his widow Iman behind.
