He is worth a whopping $7 billion- that’s right, seven billion. Salma’s own wealth is nothing to sneeze at though- she started a film production company in 2000 with credits like ‘Ugly Betty’ under its belt. The Golden Globe winner also has a line of makeup, haircare and skincare products called Nuance by Salma Hayek. The couple's combined net worth is $7.2 billion.

Elton John and David Furnish -- $700 million

Everyone’s favourite rocket man consistently ranks as one of the world’s highest-paid entertainers. His top-10 highest-grossing albums made $325 million in total, and his 2020 “Farwell Yellow Brick Road Tour” made him over $100 million from ticket sales alone. During his Las Vegas residency between 2011 and 2018, the Tiny Dancer singer would make $500,000 per show. Elton also has an extensive art collection, which experts estimate could be worth up to $200 million, featuring artists like Warhol and Basquiat. He executive produced Rocket Man as well, so it’s safe to say he made a pretty penny from the award-winning film. The EGOT winner is worth around $650 million compared to his husband, Canadian filmmaker and producer David Furnish, who is worth $50 million dollars.
