LIONEL RICHIE: MUSICIAN – $200M
Having started his solo career in 1982, Lionel Richie was a saxophonist and singer with American funk/soul band The Commodores. Lionel, who is an avid gardener and well-versed in flowers and plants, got major success with his tenth solo album, Tuskegee, which attained platinum status within just ten weeks of its official release. At 68, Lionel is still going and even received the Kennedy Center Honors last year. His net worth has already reached the $200 million mark, and his hiring the best painters, home styling experts, and architects for updating his 28-room mansion in Beverly Hills provides testimony to his affluence.
