Metallica is still one of the top 5 highest earning bands of all time, “Enter Sandman” alone earning the band more than $100 million. Their yearly revenue is still higher than any other 4 piece band in America, as well. The group netted $79 million in profit between 2018 and '19 alone.
Justin Bieber ($305 million)
Bieber is still fairly new to the scene, but that doesn’t mean he’s not cleaning up financially. When he was just 15 years old, Bieber was signed to a talent management company directly under Usher, who put him on to the American music scene. In 2010, he released his first single, “Baby,” which earned him $500 thousand in just one year. Since then, his income has been increasing exponentially, topping out at $80 million annually in 2019.
