Madonna Net Worth

Madonna is the wealthiest (and Best Selling) female singer in the world, and one of the richest self-made women in the world ... with an estimated net worth of over $850 millionFact|date=June 2008. Her wealth is closer to $850m USD than the reported $665mFact|date=June 2008. Reports about her wealth vary from programme to programme, but once all is considered, including personal wealth, real estate, and her Maverick studios earnings, Madonna just may be a billionaire herself... if not today, then very shortly in time. In 2004 alone, she earned more than $50 million with her Reinvention Tour. Rolling Stone reported that she was worth more than $613 million dollars back in 00Fact|date=June 2008, and that was before her Drowned World Tour, Reinvention Tour, and The Confessions Tour. Some reports get their figures about $613 million. "On ABC’s 'Life Of Luxury' which aired on Dec. 13th 00 Madonna was named the richest female artist with an estimated fortune of $613,000,000.

The new "Guinness Book of Records" names U.S. pop star Madonna as the highest paid female entertainer in the world. Madonna reportedly earned about $50 million in 2004 alone, which became a new record for a female singer. [8]

Side businesses and endorsements are another lucrative source of great income for Madonna, and with the star power, and magnitude of an artist of Madonna's caliber its worth to pay millions when you are being advertised by one of the best billboards in the world. Everyone knows that Madonna is the queen of endosement deals. Don't forget to count that along with her MadGuy Films, Boy Toy inc, Webo Girl, Siren Films, Slutco inc, and Maverick films.

Maverick Records is the most successful "vanity label" in music history. While under Madonna's control it generated well over $1 billion for Warner Bros. Records, more money than any other recording artist's record label. She helped bankroll Alanis Morissette and Michelle Branch's careers.

Alvin Hall presenter of World's Most Powerful on BBC News chose Madonna as the World's Most Powerful celebrity followed by Oprah Winfrey.

October 17, 2007 Madonna and concert promoter Live Nation Inc. announced a huge mega deal that encompasses future music and music-related businesses, including the Madonna brand, albums, touring, merchandising, fan club and Web site, DVDs, music-related television and film projects, and associated sponsorship agreements, the statement said. The deal is worth $120 million over 10 years with Madonna also being a shareholder in the company.

Forbes: Madonna richest woman in music

Madonna is the richest woman in music. The 50-year-old entertainer leads Forbes.com's list of the top 20 "Cash Queens of Music," earning $72 million between June 2006 and June 2007.

The pop star's "Confessions" world tour pulled in $260 million, Forbes said. She also made money from album sales, her fashion line with H&M and a deal with NBC to broadcast her concert performance at London's Wembley Stadium.

Forbes.com said it compiled the list by examining concert grosses, merchandising revenue, album sales and other revenue from clothing lines, fragrance deals and endorsements.

As the Best Selling female artist of all time, Madonna's 2008 Sticky & Sweet Tour is already reported to have sold 1 Million tickets before the show, as opposed to her 1,210,294 Confessions Tour sales after the tour kicked off. With this, many critics say that Madonna is bound to break her own record for highest grossing tour ever for a female artist.
