CELINE DION—EST. $800 MILLION

Celine Dion is a famous Canadian singer, actress, songwriter, and entrepreneur with a fortune of $800 million. Born in Northeast Montreal, Dion’s music has always been an important part of the Dion family. Her name comes from the song “C é line” recorded by French singer Hugues Aufray. Her “heart will go on,” so she says. And why shouldn’t it? After all, she’s got $800 million to work with.

She’s been belting her golden pipes since 12 years of age and has churned out hit after hit through the decades, so it is really no wonder that she was able to amass such an inordinate amount of wealth. Interestingly enough, she met her husband (manager René Angélil) at the age of 12—don’t worry, it was seven years later when they started a relationship. Dion’s gargantuan bank account also grew, probably because of the smart investments she’s made, which include a nightclub, a restaurant, and a talent management company.
