Céline Dion's prodigious $700 million fortune has been nearly four decades in the making.
Discovered at age 12 by her manager and husband, the late René Angélil, Dion released her first album in 1981.
The Canadian-born songstress got her start internationally before gaining recognition in the US. She has since sold over 52.5 million albums in the US. According to Billboard and Nielsen Soundscan, her best-selling album, "Falling Into You," sold 10.8 million copies in the US.
The five-time Grammy winner has consistently toured and performed throughout her nearly 40-year career. According to Forbes, Dion's Las Vegas residencies, which started in 2003, have raked in $260 million.
She's also part-owner of a restaurant called Schwartz's Deli and owner of artist management company Les Productions Feeling, both of which are in Montréal, Québec.
5. Dr. Dre
Age: 51
Net worth: $730 million
Profession: Musician
Country: US
Andre Young, better known as Dr. Dre, got his start as a rapper in south central Los Angeles, where he rose to fame with rap group NWA in the late 1980s.
He left the group in 1992, releasing a solo album, "The Chronic," a year later, which went triple platinum and earned him a Grammy.
Dre then pivoted from performance to production, where he discovered and mentored some of the most prominent rappers in the game, including Snoop Dogg and Eminem.
Though Dre continues to produce, he expanded into retail with the introduction of now ubiquitous Beats by Dre headphones in 2006, adding streaming service Beats Music in 2014. Later that year, Apple bought the venture for $3 billion — at the time, its largest acquisition ever — earning Dre a major chunk of his fortune.
The NWA biopic, "Straight Outta Compton," which Dre coproduced, debuted in theaters in 2015, grossing over $200 million worldwide.
