5. Garth Brooks – $220 Million
Country music star Garth Brooks has been off of everyone’s radar for years. His last couple of songs did not do great on the charts and he suffered a pretty expensive divorce to his ex-wife Sandy Mahl. He also officially retired in 2000 until he got bored and popped up on the music scene again in 2004. So where is this $220 million coming from? Well, he has won a numerous amount of awards, and has a few small endorsements. His most recent 2014 album sold more than The Beatles and because of that, he is now on a sold out world tour with his wife Trisha Yearwood. He also created GhostTunes, an online music store that now boasts over 10 million songs from other artists.
