Who would have thought that anyone could reach billionaire status from Broadway? Well, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s existence is all anyone needs to prove there’s more than just big bucks from West End and Broadway. The composer and impresario, who’s received a knighthood from the Queen herself for his contributions to the arts, has several West End and Broadway shows that have been running for decades—and which have been lining up his pockets in the same amount of time. No wonder he’s a billionaire! He probably has enough investment money to live comfortably in retirement.
