Alright, let’s yak about them rich music folks, the ones with more money than they can shake a stick at. I heard some young’uns talkin’ ’bout it, so I figured I’d tell ya what I know, in my own way, ya hear?
First off, there’s this fella, Jay-Z. They say he’s the richest of ’em all, got himself a pile of cash bigger than my whole farm, about 2.5 billion dollars, they reckon. Imagine that! Can’t even picture that much money. He’s a rapper, whatever that means. Kids these days and their noisy music.
Then there’s this Bono fella. He sings for that band, U2, I think they’re called. Heard ’em on the radio once, sounded alright, I guess. They say he’s got about 720 million dollars. That’s a whole lotta hay, ain’t it?
Now, let’s see… who else? Oh yeah, that young gal, Taylor Swift. She’s a real go-getter, that one. Sings and dances and whatnot. And she makes a pretty penny doing it, too. They say she’s the richest woman singer now, richer than that Rihanna girl even. Good for her, I say. She’s always smilin’ in them pictures, seems like a nice enough gal.
- Paul McCartney: This fella’s been around forever, even I know him! He was in that Beatles band, you know, the one with the long hair. He’s still singin’ and writin’ songs, and he’s got a mountain of money, too.
- Elton John: Now, this one, he’s a real character! Wears all them fancy clothes and big glasses. But he can sure play that piano! And he’s made a fortune doin’ it.
I can’t rightly remember all their names, but there’s a bunch more of ’em, singers and rappers and all sorts. They got millions and millions, travelin’ around the world, livin’ in fancy houses, and eatin’ high on the hog. It’s a different world, I tell ya.
Some folks say it ain’t right for them to have so much money when others are struggling. And maybe they got a point. But I reckon they worked hard for it, didn’t they? Singin’ and dancin’ ain’t easy work, even if it looks like fun. And they bring joy to a lot of folks, so maybe it’s alright after all.
Anyway, that’s what I know about them rich musicians. They got more money than they know what to do with, and that’s a fact. But money ain’t everything, I always say. It’s your family and friends that matter most. And a good cup of coffee in the mornin’, that’s important too.
So next time you hear one of them songs on the radio, just remember, that singer’s probably got a whole lot more money than you do. But that don’t mean they’re any better than you, or any happier, neither. Just different, that’s all.
And that’s the truth, as plain as the nose on your face. Don’t let all that glitter and glam fool ya, they’re just folks, same as you and me, just with a whole lot more zeros in their bank accounts.
One more thing, it’s important to remember that these numbers can change all the time. One day they’re up, the next day they’re down. It’s like the price of corn, you never know for sure what it’ll be tomorrow. So don’t get too caught up in it, just enjoy the music, if you like it.
I tell ya, the world is a funny place. Some folks got too much, some folks got too little. But that’s the way it’s always been, and that’s the way it’ll always be, I reckon. So just try to make the best of it, and don’t worry too much about what them rich folks are up to. They got their problems, too, you can bet on that.
So there you have it, a little chit-chat about the richest musicians in the world, from an old gal who don’t know much about music, but knows a thing or two about life. Now, go on and do somethin’ useful, there’s chores need doin’!
