The World’s Top Celebrities and Their Showstopping Net Worths

Mary J. Blige | Singer | $20 million

Uptown Records did not make the wrong move when they made an investment in Mary J. Blige back in 1991. The singer was able to release more than 13 studio albums, with eight reaching multi-platinum worldwide. She has also won four American Music Awards, nine Grammy Awards, and twelve Billboard Music Awards. VH1 also ranked her as the 80th greatest artist of all time in 2011.

As a result of her record sales, movie and TV appearances, and business ventures, the singer has accumulated a net worth of $20 million. She has spent some of her money on big-item purchases such as an 18,000 square foot mansion in New Jersey. Her financial situation has changed recently due to her having separated from her former husband, but we still are looking at a significant sum for her. She is in no danger of bankruptcy, which is good news.
