These Iconic Songwriters Made Insane Fortunes

Rihanna is famous for her broad view of important social topics, primarily in the inclusion of LGBTQA, POC, and disabled individuals in making clothing products. Rihanna is making $70 million a year in totality because she is extremely philanthropic with the money she makes from her clothing line, but you should expect to see a massive dividend increase in the upcoming years. 

Johnny Mathis ($400 million)

Mathis is a multi-instrumentalist, entrepreneur, singer, songwriter, cookbook writer, and former Olympic level high jumper. Mathis started his career when he was picked out of a crowd of singing individuals in a club by Helen Noga. Coincidentally, Mathis owned the club he was singing in, and all of the clubs that Noga frequented. She put him onto the music scene and the rest is history.
