1. Psy – Net Worth: $25 Million
If you want to make it big off of one song, then make sure a billion people watch your video on YouTube. Sound impossible? Well it’s not, but only one person has done it so far. Ironically it wasn’t even his breakout song Gangnam Style (2012) that made it to the top of the Billboard charts. That song peaked at #64. No, the song that puts him on this list is Gentleman, released a few months later, topping out at #5.Psy, a South Korean Native, was educated at Boston University. He became a hit in his native country in 2001, with the album Psy From the PSYcho World. This album connected with teens but was banned by the Korean government who restricted album sales to adults.
His next 4 albums gained industry awards and commercial success in his native land. His face could be seen everywhere on various Korean television shows. So, it may not be fair to say that he wasn’t rich before 2012, but let’s face it, you don’t make $25 million by only being popular in one country, even if it has 50 million people. But when you think of the hundreds of millions made by other musical acts, you realize that it takes more then one song to break the bank, even if 1 billion people listen to it. See the video of his only actual Billboard hit below.
