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

Paul Simon – $75 million

Greatest Hit: Bridge Over Troubled Water
Paul Simon has written a monumental number of superb and timeless songs, such as Bridge Over Troubled Water, Sound of Silence, Mrs. Robinson, and so on. These songs were recorded with Columbia Records. He would eventually split up with his artist partner, Art Garfunkel, to commence his 1970 solo career. This led to the writing of Graceland, a song that was inspired by his time in South Africa. The track enjoyed 14 million record sales not long after it was published, becoming his best solo piece ever. He also enjoyed some time on Broadway where he produced several artists.
