Madonna, with over 300 million records sold, stands as the top-selling solo artist in music history.
Madonna skyrocketed to worldwide fame in the mid-1980s with chart-toppers like "Material Girl" and "Like a Virgin."
Not only is she known for her music, but her live performances have captivated audiences for years.
Madonna's financial success isn't solely due to her music career. She's an accomplished actress, director, and has ventured into fashion and fitness.
In 1992, Madonna partnered with Time Warner to create her multimedia company, Maverick.
She secured one of the most lucrative contracts in pop star history, receiving an advance of up to $60 million for a seven-year deal.
Madonna's top-grossing tour is the Sticky & Sweet Tour in 2008-2009, earning $407.7 million and selling 3.5 million tickets.
Still today, it is the highest-grossing tour by a woman. Madonna also owns around $100 million worth of artwork by painters Frida Kahlo, Picasso, and Diego Rivera to name a few.
Madonna boasts a jaw-dropping estimated net worth of $850 million. Notably, Forbes has hailed her as the richest female musician in history.
