9. Danny Gokey
Net Worth: $600,000
Danny Gokey was a favorite for fans on American Idol after he was placed third during his season on the show. While there, Gokey mostly performed songs from the gospel and soul genres. However, since leaving the show, he has ventured over into Country music with his first album being released – “My Best Days.” Of course, fans were a little confused about the change, but Gokey later went back to his “comfort zone,” gospel. Since then, he has released a few albums, which became number one on Billboard Gospel Charts. These albums include “Hope in Front of Me” and “Rise.” The latter was also nominated for a Grammy.

William Hung was an engineering student when he auditioned for the voice, and though he didn’t make it past that stage, his rendition of “She Bangs” by Ricky Martin was a viral sensation among fans. For sure, Hung made use of this opportunity to further his passion and love for music and later saw himself releasing three studio albums. He has had other huge appearances on shows like “The Fairly OddParents”, “Arrested Development” and on “The Tonight Show” with Jay Leno as well as the half-time show for the Golden State Warriors.
