Susan Boyle – Est. $40 million

Speaking of majestic and powerful voices, Susan Boyle is a good contender. She is a product of the competition show Britain’s Got Talent in 2009. She was born on April 1, 1961, in West Lothian, Scotland. Boyle dreamed of being an artist, but because of the tragedies that came in her life, it was set aside. She tried, once in a while, but failed to gain a significant appreciation for her talent. However, in 2009, in honor of her late mother, she auditioned for BGT and sang “I Dreamed a Dream” of Les Miserables. This caused the grimaced audience and judges to give her a standing ovation.

As of writing, Boyle’s initial performance on the show gained 249 million views on YouTube. Later, in the competition, she placed first runner-up. Syco, Simon Cowell’s label, accommodated her and she’s now considered the oldest artist to top the Billboard chart with a debut album. She then released four more afterward. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Boyle’s net worth is at $40 million.
