Whilst the world of pop music might be bigger now than ever before, with countless talented musicians creating fresh content on an incredibly regular basis, but breaking into the very top, elite level is a very difficult accomplishment.
However, when a musician is able to break through to the very top level of the industry they are able to earn an incredible amount of money, becoming some of the richest people on the planet.
Within this article, we will take a look at 10 of the biggest pop stars in 2019, ranking the 10 richest of the year so far based on their net worth which has come through album and ticket sales.
10. Ariana Grande
9. Miley Cyrus
8. Ed Sheeran
7. Justin Bieber
6. Katy Perry
5. Lady Gaga
4. Taylor Swift
3. Beyonce
2. Mariah Carey
1. Madonna
According to Money Inc., Mariah Carey has an incredible net worth of $520 million, with the singer remaining as relevant in 2019 as she was when she shot into fame in 1990 with her first five singles all becoming number one hits.
Carey still holds the record for the most chart-topping singles, which is why she has managed to earn such an impressive amount of wealth, staying on top of the game throughout her entire career.
Adding some moderate success in the acting world, sell-out tours, and income supplemented through her residencies, and documentaries, there is no doubt Carey will only continue to grow her empire.
