Justin Timberlake ($230 million)

Justin Timberlake isn’t just a well-accomplished musician, he’s an extremely intelligent businessman. Timberlake found his start as a contestant on the show “Star Search” in 1991, from there he was cast to be in the Mickey Mouse Club with some fellow huge names like Britney Spears and Ryan Gosling. Timberlake was only on the show for a year, but when it concluded he took a brief hiatus and started ‘N Sync. Needless to say, his career skyrocketed after that event.
