These Are The Songwriters Who Are Laughing All The Way To The Bank

Neil Diamond – $175 million

Greatest Hits: Cracklin’ Rosie, Song Sung Blue
Neil Diamond cracked the top 10 billboard charts thirty-eight times with the same number of singles, and has enjoyed the release of more than one hundred albums across the world. As you can imagine, Diamond is one of the most profitable artists ever. His place in the Songwriters Hall of Fame was secured in 1984, and his Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inauguration took place in 2011. Diamond has always held on to his good sense of humor. Will Ferrell made a tongue-in-cheek tribute to Diamond during his conclusive May 2002 special.
