It's not just about album sales, it's about your other business'. There are a lot of artists who've sold less than Bon Jovi, but for example Bruce Springsteen writes all his own songs, Jon has to share the money for royalties. And wise investments add up in the long run, Jon has been pissing money away with things like AFL.

You forgot the golden rule; post the source of the article!

Top 20 is more or less as expected..although this seems to be a very Rock and roll type list, where are all the pop star numpties like Beyonce, JayZ and Gaga etc?

I expect the CEO will be furious.

Another mediocre album and world tour should shift him up the rankings a bit.

Really doubt this is correct An avg artist without any writing credit easily makes $1-$1.50 per album sold so just based on Albums sold band should have made about $200 million Plus real money is in touring I would assume Jon net worth probably in region of $250-$300 million
And Bruce is definitely worth more than $200 million based on album sales and touring He makes more profit on tour since he spends a lot less on production than other major bands

How the hell does anyone know how much Jon is worth apart from him and his accountant?
The same goes for all the other people on that list - they are just guessing.

US Govt knows too how rich you are LOL
Probably an estimate based on CD Sales royalties and profit from touring and an estimate on taxes paid
