CHRIS MARTIN—$130 Million

Singer, songwriter, record producer, and philanthropist Chris Martin, who many will, of course, recognize as the front man of the super band Coldplay, is reportedly worth $130 million. The man is a multi-Grammy-award winning artist, who’s had a huge degree of commercial success with his band. Interestingly enough, the group wasn’t always named Coldplay, and, in fact, was named Pectoralz when they started out in 1996. Apparently, they met another band which was supposed to be called Coldplay but didn’t want to use it.

So, they took the name instead, and the rest, as they say, is history, as they managed to conquer the world with their music. Coldplay achieved worldwide fame when they released in 2000 their song Yellow, they were praised for the single and earned their first Grammy Award nomination. They finally won the award and Brit Award in the subsequent albums they released, A Rush of Blood to the Head and Viva la Vida. The band are among the world’s best-selling music artists with over 100 million copies of their records sold across the globe.
