Marianne Faithfull – $15 Million

Marianne Faithfull started to climb the ladder of success in the 1960s. She is known for being a great singer and songwriter, most recognized for her hit song, As Tears Go By. During her time, she released over 30 studio albums. She is also one of the foremost artists who led the so-called British Invasion, a term used to describe British music’s influence on the U.S. music scene during the early days.

Aside from her talent, Marianne became famous due to her relationship with Mick Jagger, the frontman of the legendary rock band Rolling stones. Fortunately, they never ended up married, so they never needed divorce lawyers. But her popularity was eclipsed by personal problems in the 1970s. She returned to the music scene in 1979 with the critically acclaimed album “Broken English”. This album won a Grammy nomination for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance and is usually considered her authoritative record.
