ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER: MUSICIAN AND IMPRESSARIO — $1.2 BILLION
Andrew Lloyd Webber, who happens to be one of the richest musicians in the world, deserves to be featured on our list, too. The British music maestro is eccentric and canny with aesthetic instincts, but it seems that the impresario also knows how to grow his wealth. His net worth climbed up to $1.2 billion over the past few years, and we wonder how he diversifies his investments. As noted British playwright Christopher Hampton once said, Andrew is so worried about the work that he hardly thinks about his millions. The immensely talented musician started playing the violin when he was just three, and at six, he started creating his own music. Now that his bank account has grown out of proportion, we think the ace musician would look for an investment advisor as he has a short attention span on a magnanimous scale and might just forget things.
