Streisand drew inspiration from her time on Broadway and her time singing in clubs, mashing potential show tunes and club jams to make a series of sonically unique albums that all received critical acclaim. Her most recent concert tour made $119.5 million in the box office and was attended by 425,000 people, and that’s just in America.
Celine Dion ($400 million)
Dion wasn’t destined for greatness until she was picked up by Disney to sing for the title track of the film. After that, Dion became one of the greats. Dion stuck in the film business after her run-in with Disney, and because of that, her 1997 album “Lets Talk About Love” became the most profitable album of the 1990s worldwide. Part of that success was the inclusion of the song “My Heart Will Go On” which was, for those who don’t know, the most memorable song in the movie Titanic.
