David Bowie – $100 million

Greatest Hits: Changes, Space Oddity, Modern Love

David Bowie has sold more than 140 million albums worldwide, earning ten Platinum certifications for his many hit songs. He was known for visual presentation and a clear style of reinvention. The androgynous, daring pop legend, Ziggy Stardust, is an alter ego. Bowie, born in South London, began to study art and music when he was very young. He launched his career in music in 1983, releasing Space Oddity. He married the supermodel, Iman, before his sudden death at sixty-two. He’s still an artist of iconic rock and glam rock.
