Beyoncé Knowles – $400m-$500m
Beyonce needs no introduction in today’s world. She started out on the road to stardom as one-third of Destiny’s Child, but soared to another level of fame with her solo career. As was the case with Victoria Beckham, Beyonce transcended her former group members to become phenomenally more successful and acclaimed. Along with her husband, Jay-Z, the two have become one of the wealthiest power couples in America and the world.

James Patterson – $500m-$600m
James Patterson is the successful author responsible for books such as Along Came a Spider, Kiss the Girls, 1st to Die, Sunday at Tiffany’s, Cross, Zoo, and Women’s Murder Club, some of which also received onscreen adaptations. We may not have mentioned that many authors on this list, but given Patterson’s contribution to cinema with so many of his stories having been turned into epic thrillers, we feel like he deserves mention. That, and his monumental wealth!
