The site CelebrityNetWorth.com has put together a list of The 58 Richest Lead Singers in the World.  I am actually shocked by 2 things on the list.  One, that Dave Grohl beat James Hetfield and two, that Gwen Stefani is on the list/there is a female on this list.

The site got their data from, quote, "publicly available information including salaries, real estate holdings, divorces, record sales, royalties and endorsements."  They also made deductions for taxes, manager's fees, agents' fees, and "lifestyle."

2.)  Bono,  $600 million

3.)  Jimmy Buffett,  $400 million

4.)  Elton John,  $320 million
