Patti LaBelle, 78 – $60 Million

Patti LaBelle launched her music career around six years ago as one of the founders and the lead singer of Patti LaBelle and the Bluebelles, which was one of the best all-African-American female groups of the time. Surely, their path to success wasn’t obstacle-free, but somehow, they did it with songs like Down the Aisle (The Wedding Song) and Over the Rainbow.

After the group broke up, LaBelle found more success as a soloist with the songs You Are My Friend, New Attitude, and On My Own, among others. The 78-year-old’s glorious voice allowed her to live a lavish style, earning a net fortune of $60 million.
