JIMMY BUFFETT – EST. $600 MILLION

Jimmy Buffet rose to prominence for many things. He is a singer, songwriter, musician, author, actor, and businessman. He gained international attention with his music, which features the “island escapism” theme. With his Coral Reefer Band, they managed to drop a lot of hit songs that may be one of the reasons why he amassed a net worth of $600 million.

He and his group have released 27 albums and made about 40 live tours to date. Aside from his music, Buffett also gets credits for his writing abilities. He has written three number one bestsellers: Tales from Margaritaville, Where is Joe Merchant?, and his memoir, A Pirate Looks at Fifty. Other novels to his name are A Salty Piece of Land and Swine Not? Although he is now 73, Buffett remains true to his “well-established persona” as the easy-going beach guy.
