Yes, it is a widely known fact that celebrities, stars and famous faces make plenty of money. But just how much wealth do they actually have may shock you and make you look at your own bank account’s balance with envy.

Lionel Richie: ~ $200 Million

Rising to fame with his music group The Commodores, the talented singer-songwriter Lionel Richie’s solo career was an even bigger success.

Oddly enough, Lionel became very popular in Arab countries since the 2000s, and he has had many sold out concerts there recently. Since 2017, the singer joined the popular and long-running reality TV show American Idol as the third judge, alongside singers Katy Perry and Luke Bryan.
