These Iconic Songwriters Made Insane Fortunes

Beck ($25 million)

Beck hit it big in 1994 when he released his first official single “Loser.” This song was originally a joke that he had between friends, claiming that he can make a song out of absolutely anything, even just speaking nonsense. Despite his admittance of that fact, people still try to dissect Beck’s lyricism for whatever reason. Regardless of the discourse, Beck’s mainstream popularity and his actions as an early adopter of multi-genre style music have earned him a ton of cash over the years, and he’s sitting pretty at a net worth of 25 million bucks.
