8) Johnny Cash estimated $120 million
Who hasn’t heard about the legend Johnny Cash? The songwriter, actor, singer and author, was considered one of the most influential American musicians of the 20th century.
It’s true he is no longer among us, but that doesn’t make him less rich. Many say that his songs and sound embraced rock and roll, rockabilly, blues, folk and gospel and he shouldn’t be remembered as a country artist.
But they are wrong. Because of the unique style and combinations of sounds got him the rare honor of multiple inductions in the Country Music, Rock and Roll and Gospel Music Halls of Fame.
Has a net worth estimated at $120 million because he was one of the highest paid country music superstars until his death in 2003.
