13. David Cook
David Cook’s story is certainly an impressive one as it all didn’t start with him going to audition for the competition but to support his younger brother. However, it happened that his brother didn’t make it through while he did. Lucky to say, Cook, became the winner of season seven of American Idol. Also, he managed to be a break-out act from the show as within a week of winning, he broke records with appearing on Billboard’s top charts with 11 songs, making it to the Hot 100 list. Surprisingly enough, he has broken the record of Miley Cyrus, who had a total of 6 on the charts within a week the same. Cook’s estimated net worth stands at an average of $5 million.
